Master criminal Fu Manchu fakes his own death and turns up in London. He kidnaps a scientist in hopes of manufacturing a poison with which he can "rule the world" by threatening mass killings. Scotland Yard inspector Nayland Smith relentlessly pursues him, with the trail eventually leading to Tibet. There are ninjas, a beheading, a torture chamber and a surprisingly nimble Nigel Green as the inspector who fights his way out of many situations. This was the first of five films starring Christopher Lee as Fu Manchu.
