This may not be the worst grade B movie that I have ever watched, but if not, it is a close second. It is horrible!

OK...there's a hint of racism (not as bad as in SOME films of the period---but you don't have to look hard to spot it---the Irish cop delivers a few racist comments (and that charcter, itself, is a stereotype.

But Wally Ford delivers his usual tongue-in-cheek performance as the wise-cracking reporter (one recalls him doing the same sort of job against Bela in 1943's THE APE MAN). This time he has Arline Judge instead of Louise Currie to play off of with the comedic/romantic banter so popular in films of the day (1940's HIS GIRL FRIDAY with Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell is, perhaps, the BEST example of this).

One note: This isn't the COMPLETE film there are a few scenes missing but if you haven't seen the complete film this probably won't bother you---you can still follow the plot.

Bela is his usual malefic self, here---and the film is superior to many he wound up making just to keep body and soul together. He didn't need to be ashamed of THIS one. Overall it is an enjoyable comedy/mystery/romance movie. I give it four stars.

Mr. Karloff played the evil genius only once. A
film with a very Myna Loy (his daughter in film)
and Mr. Lewis Stone (as Manchu's nememis, Nayland Smith). The film was made through MGM
studios in the 1930's. Christopher Lee also tried hishand at being the evil genius with Nigel Green as Smith in the 1970's.

good {short} cheapie with Bela lugosi.
the newspaper reporter was very good as well.

last viewer mentioned racism.
must be looking for it-- to see it-- i guess.Some films of the era may have been.this one seems harmless enough.

Bela plays an evil Chinese guy with an Hungarian accent.Yes....its that good.

dont recall Bela playing another nationality in any other film, unlike his rival Karloff who made a few as Fu Manchu, so this one is a treat.

Subject: Not Good
This is not MR Wong the detective. It's the evil Mr. Wong (Bela Lagosi)who will stop at nothing to get the twelve coins of Confusius.
Bela is good but the movie is not, very campy, very racist.
