The Strange Case of Captain Ramper (German: Ramper, der Tiermensch) is a 1927 German silent film directed by Max Reichmann and starring Paul Wegener and Mary Johnson.

The badly injured Ipling commits suicide, leaving Ramper to survive the next 15 years, where he is altered into a wild creature without memory.

The experimentation on him makes Ramper only aware of the corrupt nature of modern society, leading him to return to the North.

[1] The film was believed to be lost, with only some visual material showcasing it, but the full 50 minute version under the original title "Ramper, der Tiermensch" has been uploaded to Youtube and is Public Domain due to its age.

[1] From contemporary reviews, a reviewer in Variety found the film "somewhat better than the Contemporary German pictures seen on this side during the last season or two" but that it was also "draggy" concluding that the film was "fair to middling screen fare" and suggested it needed more editing.
