Two cliches: the "Chinese" detective and the spunky female reporter.
Let's just be glad that Boris Karloff didn't go with the Chinky Chinky China Man accent. Dull B-mystery told through static, unimaginative shots from the Let's Just Stand Around and Someone Can Film This school of film-making. The owner of a shipping company is found dead after one of his passenger ships goes down in a fire, and nobody knows if it's murder or suicide. When the over enthusiastic chief of police hastily arrests a competitor's son, Mr Wong is hired to find the real killer. A later entry in the Mr Wong series.
