Jo Louis Walker and Captain Tom Rowland are in Ceylon to protect an heiress and thereby get involved with the sinister organisation called 'The Golden Cats'. I enjoyed this entry in the 'Kommissar X' series which mostly keeps a light approach to the material. Interest is sustained by some good sequences including a rooftop chase, a chase with a police car and a train, the swamp of spindly trees, elephants stopping an aeroplane take off and a karate duel in a hiddden temple watched by men wearing golden masks. In the latter scene one of the combatants is Dan Vadis playing the villainous henchman King and he is the most memorable character in the movie. The outdoor Ceylon locations are most attractive, filmed beautifully in 'Eastmancolour' and 'Ultrascope'.
In the attempted murder in the shower scene the assassin is played by Yi Feng, very familiar from dozens of Hong Kong movies including later the classic 'Fist Of Fury' from 1972. It was nice to see him.
