Master Chinese criminal Fu Manchu, Christopher Lee, abducts a doctor and forces him to perform plastic surgery on one of his nastier henchman. He comes out as the double of a Scotland Yard inspector determined to put Fu Manchu behind bars. Smuggled into England, the double takes over the life of the inspector who is kidnapped and brought to China. The fake inspector commits murder, is put on trial and sentenced to death. The race to save him, and the real inspector, leads to the final showdown in Fu Manchu's castle. The hodgepodge of genres, part horror, part martial arts, part Bond-ish international adventure, dates this firmly in the 60s: fun, but not especially compelling or logical.
