The second in a cycle of five films reviving Sax Rohmer's Chinese super-villain, Fu Manchu, from maverick British producer and writer Harry Alan Towers (Venus in Furs).
Directed with aplomb by Don Sharp (The Face of Fu Manchu), this fast-moving horror-adventure sees the criminal mastermind Fu Manchu (Christopher Lee, I, Monster) and his evil offspring Lin Tang (Tsai Chin, You Only Live Twice) 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, The Golden Voyage of Sinbad), and his right-hand man Dr Petrie (Howard Marion-Crawford, Gideon's Day) can save the day...
