Overview

This time Fu Manchu and his army of henchmen are kidnaping the daughters of prominent scientists and taking them to his remote island headquarters. Instead of asking for ransom, Fu demands that the fathers help him to build a death ray, which he intends to use to take over the world. But Fu’s archenemy, Nayland Smith of Scotland Yard, is determined not to let that happen.

Viewing Notes

Second disc from the Indicator box set. Not quite as good as the first but still a fun entry. These films really feel anachronistic now; definitely of their own time.

There are two versions on disc, the UK version without a prologue, which I watched; and a US/international version with a prologue.
