Mr. Moto Heads to China on a quest for seven ancient scrolls that reveal the location of Genghis Khan’s tomb—a crypt filled with fabulous treasure! But Moto isn’t the only one stalking the scrolls—so is a shadowy band of thieves.

Viewing Notes

Sunday afternoon serial: My second Mr. Moto flick and can say that I dont enjoy these as much as the Charlie Chan films.  These feel more mean spirited. Still a good Sunday afternoon viewing just doesn’t hit the same.

Babyface John Carradine is no babyface! Amusing to see him made up as an older man in one of his early roles.
