A woman hires a chemist and inventor to help her take down a group of merchants in Chinatown. He uses he crazy inventions and a little bit of hypnotism to stay one step of the law.
Its not a very deep story its more of a cat and mouse chase as they are always one step behind Victor Poten ( Lugosi) and his henchmen. This is not a great film and im really happy i opted for the shorter version because even that drags at points so i can only imagine having to spend another three hours with this would of been really hard to get through the whole thing. Along the way there are some fun fight scenes and crazy looking stunts mixed with a few fast forward cae chases
Not one of Lugosi's better roles his character is written pretty bad trying to capitalize on his horror roles not giving him much chance to act with too many scenes of him just standing there saying nothing or getting chased out of the scene a real shame he could of brought so much to the film because the rest of the cast lack any sort of charisma.
