Somehow I kept expecting Christopher Lee (who would have been but 16 years old) to appear in this rather enjoyable Oriental mystery that sees just about everyone from the Russian and Chinese Secret services on the trail of a priceless amulet. It falls to "Irene" (Linda Gray) to repatriate the jewel with the help of her British pal Ralph Morgan ("Barclay") and his jocular American photographer buddy "McGinty" (James Dunn) who come up with a quite a wheeze to get her a passport so she can board ship and skedaddle. Enter the Lee-lookalike "Yokohama" (Paul Sutton) as one pursuing baddie trying to get there before his sinister opponent Robert Barrat ("Sargoza") and the whole thing gets quite lively. The production is quite decent as is the story; the acting is competent and as cheap and cheerful B-features go, this is quite an enjoyable watch.
