The Mr. Wong series took on what I consider its definitive form with this, the third entry in the series. Marjorie Reynolds joins the regular cast as reporter Bobby Logan, always ready to bend rules to get a story and also eager to champion those she thinks wrongfully accused. She and Wong’s friend Captain Street (Grant Withers) are the usual bantering couple of the era. In this series entry, a Chinese princess (Lotus Long) is murdered by a poison dart while calling on Mr. Wong (Boris Karloff). Evidence mounts that the princess had come to the U.S. to buy planes for her brother, a warlord fighting the Japanese invasion, and suspicion swirls around the parties to the deal.

  Mildly recommended. Otto judiciously thinks this movie is OK.
