Pretty Lynda Gray is running around China with a mysterious amulet given to her by her brother after a serious plane crash. She finds herself in danger, being followed around by the sinister looking Robert Barrat and several Japanese officials, but protected by reporter James Dunn and the kindly Ralph Morgan, but as war grows between China and Japan, the danger increases, and so does the convoluted twists in this story.
There's a battle sequence where Shanghai is bombed and Gray, Dunn and Morgan find themselves in the middle of the rocket's red glare, unaware that they are transporting a bomb inside a supposed wedding present. The action here is non-stop, and the special effects are impressive for a B film from Grand National. Barrat seems to be emulating Bela Lugosi in his performance. Being ahead of the invasion of Europe, this pre-World War II film has a lot of good things about it, but it's too bad that the script is meandering.
