The Fatal Hour finds the Chinese scholarly detective James Lee Wong as played by Boris Karloff helping the police the murder of a colleague of Captain Grant Withers. In all the Wong mysteries Withers has absolutely no shame in requesting and getting help from his Oriental colleague.
Before the 68 minute running time of The Fatal Hour is over we've got three more murders and being this is a Monogram Studios Production the number of folks who could be the culprits falls drastically low. And Marjorie Reynolds is still forever trying to use boyfriend Withers to obtain yet another Lois Lane type scoop for her newspaper.
The deceased cop was on the smuggling task force of the San Francisco PD and Wong's investigation takes him to a respected jewelry store in the Bay City as well as the waterfront. By the time the film ends it can only be one of three suspects and I think you'll have figured it out before it's over.
It's a Monogram Picture so take it for what it is worth.
