The Cloak is an original web animation created by the master of random comedy, Jason Steele, at Film Cow Productions. The plot is pretty simple: the Cloak (self described "private investigator and life-long fighter of the international Communist conspiracy") teams up with his sidekick, the disembodied head of film-noir legend Robert Mitchum. Together, they set out to destroy the evil forces of Communism, as well as many innocent bystanders.
