Pretty good for 1950's TV. Hard to deliver a believable larger than life story of insidious evil in less than 30 minutes. It reminded me of the first season of Adventures of Superman. I noticed two veteran B-movie character actors, Victor Sen Yung and Morris Ankrum, in the mix. TV was a haven for actors like these. Dr. Fu Manchu in the Sax Rohmer books (I'm a fan.) is much scarier than portrayed here by a white guy with a Fu Manchu mustache stuck on his kisser. Karamaneh, the beautiful Egyptian slave girl, doesn't measure up either, and isn't under Fu Manchu's thrall by the 3rd (of 13) book.

I downloaded the MPEG4 file. Video and audio quality are fine.
