I can imagine kids watching this on a Saturday afternoon in the 1940's. Karloff as the Chinese detective again. He is the only stabilizing factor in these dullards. I saw one before. It has the huffy police detective and his nemesis, a female reporter who won't stop talking or screaming. Always after a "scoop." This is the investigation of a murder with a few twists and turns, which works a little better than some of the others in the series. A few red herrings are thrown in. Wong seems to know what's going on, but no one else does. The young hero, accused of murdering his future father-in-law, takes a big chance and almost blows it. But Karloff saves the day. There are a couple of interesting characters,including an ex-con chauffeur and a blackmailing competitor to the murder victim. There's also part of the Tong war going on in the city, and Karloff is shot when he gets in the middle of it. I saw it. I doubt I will ever see it again.
