Trivia
The "Mr. Wong" played here by Bela Lugosi is not the same character as the "Mr. Wong" later played by Boris Karloff and Keye Luke in a series of six films. Lugosi's Fu Wong is a villain, while the James Lee Wong of the series is a detective in the vein of Charlie Chan. All seven movies were produced by the same Poverty Row studio, Monogram Pictures, but have no other affiliation.

Errores
Mr. Wong, played by Bela Lugosi, speaks English with a thick Hungarian accent.

Citas
Mr. Wong: A few hours with the rats will loosen his tongue to tell the truth!

Interesting old-time crime pulp

Modern viewers must be forgiven if they're confused over the genre of this Bela Lugosi film. It's crime pulp, something hardly seen today except in Quentin Tarantino films. The focus is on the villain, in this case Lugosi as a Chinese(!) gangster tracking down the twelve coins of Confucius. The only mystery is how he will be stopped and whether or not he will escape to cause trouble another day.

Wallace Ford is fun as the wry reporter (reminding me a bit of Chevy Chase). And Arline Judge is as cute as a button as the switchboard operator he's trying to romance. It all takes place in Chinatown, for some reason, with plenty of casual bigotry, altho its sometimes turned around on the bigot for comic comeuppance (as when Ford talks pidgin to a Chinese girl only to be answered in fluent English).

If you like the era, this is a fun film and a good example of the genre. It's got the menacing thugs, mysterious murders, and secret passageways you expect and a bit of sassy dialog to boot.
