Maybe not one of the better "Wong" (Boris Karloff) outings this, but it still moves along well enough. This time, it's a long time friend of "Capt. Street" (Grant Withers) who comes a cropper and the two, along with pesky investigative journalist "Bobbie" (Marjorie Reynolds) must get to the bottom of things as the corpses begin, quite literally, to pile up! The production looks hastily thrown together, the lighting really needed a few more bucks in the meter and the script could have been doing with a little more substance. That said, it has the odd humorous touch and Reynolds is quite efficient in support of our not particularly dynamic duo. Watchable, but forgettable fayre.
