Another fun outing for our favourite "Chinese" megalomaniac - and who better the Bela Lugosi so star as he searches for the legendary twelve coins of Confucius. One he has obtained these, he will rule a vast tract of his native homeland (China, that is - not Hunary). Unfortunately, for him, "Jay Barton" (Wallace Ford) has one of these coins and semis now in terrible danger... Given it's an hour, it packs in quite a lot - and so long as you can look beyond the obviously curious casting; it moves along apace with it's tongue firmly planted in it's cheek.
