Scary mystery sometimes confusing but funny too
22 January 2017
It starts with scared animals running through the forest in this movie like they are afraid of something right in the beginning. I think it was the noise of a plane. The pilot a female, Victoria Mason is above Cambodia near Angkor Wat. She is suppose to fly around the world. She is up to something and she torches the plane to set it on fire and parachutes out.

There are also camera men from another country in a canoe with a large camera there to take pictures of that country.

Moto is at archaeological dig. He goes to where the airplane crashes and finds the torch that set the plane on fire. He knows something is not right. In the story we don't find out why she did that.

Moto is Japanese and is on this island with mixed tribes. One leader wants to kill all white people including the camera men and the other leader Rahah Ali played by J. Edward Brombergrefers wants to marry Victoria the "white" woman. He is very funny.

Moto has a cage with a homing pigeon that he sends with messages. He is kind of rough and the pigeon seems to fight. Moto puts a message on him and releases the bird. One of Rahah Ali wives is killed by a dart and they think it was a curse. Victoria is his choice as a wife. Whites are referred to in a bad way by the tribal people.

Moto is on a mission he plays a prophet or something in disguise and also a archaeologist. In disguise he directs people away from a temple. He is searching for something and finds a room full of guns and explosives in the temple. He sends Bokor and his men away to watch Moto at the dig. At some point another shipment of guns comes and all hell breaks loose.

The funny thing is that everyone's clothes are so clean in all these old movies and Rahah Ali's women are all dressed in jewels and more. Moto's suit is white and even when he comes up from the ground he is spotless. Victor Sen Yung that plays in Charlie Chan as a son is a soldier uncredited in this movie.

There is lots of shooting, lots of fires, lots of people from different countries, music, humor and mystery.
