Alongside his crimefighting compatriot, the Falcon, Cap discovers secrets in the shadows of eras past thrown by Dr. Faustus, the Yellow Claw, and the mysterious Phoenix - but a final battle with the Secret Empire throws Cap's future into question! But when Cap dons the cape of the Nomad, will the Falcon stick...

Virgie Cary's (Shirley Temple) happy Southern plantation life is shattered when war breaks out and her dear dad (John Boles) must go fight, while her mother (Karen Morley) falls ill. But, nonetheless, the irrepressible Virgie manages to meet President Lincoln and tap-dance her way into the heart of old Uncle Billy (Bill "Bonjangles" Robinson)!
