Doctor Yilmaz tells his (grown-up) son Tekin (Kunt Tulgar) that he isn't his father
at all but only took care of him after his real father, the superhero
Copperhead, had died, & now Tekin has to take over his father's
hero-identity. Only seconds later, Doc Yilmaz is killed. (Oddly enough,
Tekin doesn't seem to mind all that much.)
Later, Tekin & his comic sidekick Bitik are hired to bodyguard
professor Dogan, father of Tekin's girlfriend Sevgi, who has invented some
ray to shoot airplanes out of the sky, but this invention must not fall
into the hands of ... Doctor Satan.
Of course, Doc Satan has soon enough kidnapped professor Dogan &
tries to make him build the deathray for him, but with little success at
first - until the good doctor also kidnaps the profesor's daughter Sevgi.
& to guard his back, Doc Satan has placed one of his employees, lovely
Ayla (whom Tekin eventually has sex with) behind with Tekin & company,
posing as the professor's assistant.
Tekin, in & out of his Copperhead costume, makes various attempts
to free the professor, but with little success. However, he manages to
break free Sevgi, get hold of the professor's plans for his death ray,
& even obtain one of Doc Satan's robots. But Satan has already built a
deathray, so Tekin might be too late after all ... however from the
professor's plans, Doctor Faruk can build a machine to counteract the
deathray - but when tested, his face is horribly disfigured.
Doc Satan takes this chance to replace the bandaged Faruk with himself,
infiltrate his enemies & eventually, with the help of the robot Tekin
has obtained, kidnap Sevgi (again).
But Tekin, as Copperhead, is hot on his trail, smuggles himself into
Satan's headquarters & once there knocks out Satan's henchmen &
calls in the police to apprehend Satan. It is only then that Tekin reveals
to Bitik & Sevgi that he really is Copperhead ...
Truth to be told, Deathless Devil is no Citizen Kane,
objectively speaking it is little more than a childish trash film ...
however that doesn't necessarily stop one from enjoying it: Deathless
Devil draws massive inspiration from American movie serials from the
1930's & 1940's, from its main characters to its episodic narrative
structure to many of its key plot devices (the masked superhero, the
deathray to shoot down planes, the evil - & extremely funny looking -
robot, ...), but everything is filmed 1970's style, in glaring colour
& out-of-this-world wardrobe - & even though one might know this
is an essentially stupid film, one might just sit there mouth agape of
enjoyment about what one sees ...
