The Petrie family for twenty years have been free of the vengeance of Dr Fu Manchu but then the insidious doctor re-appears and when he is killed by the police the revenge is taken up by his daughter Ling Moy. I enjoyed this film more than the two previous films in the series. Warner Oland reprised his role as the doctor but the main focus is on his daughter and Ling Moy is played excellently by Anna May Wong, by turns tender, thoughtful or treacherous. She outshines the rest of the cast though they are adequate enough. Her scene with Warner Oland is particularly good. Would have liked to have seen a sequel to this film but alas that did not occur. The ubiquitous Olaf Hytten appears briefly as Flinders the Butler.
