Very progressive for the time and a great little film.


Wong cracks a joke to an uptight manservant that a Chinese archeological team is digging up George Washington as a kind of cultural exchange for the desecration of a Chinese tomb!

Keye Luke subtly kicks a$$ in this flick, taking the Chinese Detective genre into new territory as far as I'm concerned.

Also a Proto-Buddy Cop flick.

It's in the public domain so you can find it on YouTube etc.



If to stand pat means to resist evil then, yes, neighbour, we wish to stand pat.
