Synopsis
Nayland Smith of Scotland Yard is in Paris helping to set up INTERPOL, an international police organization. Meanwhile, the supposedly dead Fu Manchu returns to his ancestral palace in North China with his daughter Lin Tang and plots the formation of an international crime syndicate. He begins by kidnaping a famous surgeon, Dr. Lieberson, and his daughter Maria, whom he threatens to kill unless the doctor transforms the face of a prisoner into the likeness of Smith. In Hong Kong, Mafia leader Rudy Moss is negotiating with other leading criminals to assist Fu Manchu, but his activities are being monitored by Shanghai police. When the real Smith is abducted and brought to Fu Manchu's palace, his double is shipped to London where, under a hypnotic trance, he murders Smith's Chinese servant. The double is then sentenced to the gallows, and Fu Manchu makes plans to synchronize Smith's own death with the time of the execution. The surveillance of Moss has revealed Manchu's scheme, however, and Hong Kong Inspector Ramos and FBI agent Mark Weston fight their way into Fu Manchu's palace to rescue the prisoners. The palace explodes, but from the ruins comes the voice of Fu Manchu promising that he will be heard from again.
