Directed with aplomb by Don Sharp, this fast-moving horror-adventure sees the criminal mastermind Fu Manchu (Christopher Lee) and his evil offspring Lin Tang (Tsai Chin) kidnap the daughters of several world-famous scientists. His plan is to force their fathers to develop a powerful death ray with which he will bring the world to its knees. Only Scotland Yard's finest, Nayland Smith (Douglas Wilmer), and his right-hand man Dr Petrie (Howard Marion-Crawford) can save the day… (Powerhouse Films)
