The Mysterous Mr Wong is nothing to do with the Mr Wong detective movies starring Boris Karloff. I found this quite good.
A reporter is sent to investigate a series of murders in Chinatown and these turn out to have something to do with Mr Wong, a mad man who wants to be ruler of a large province in China once he has a full set of 12 coins of Confucius. The investigation takes the reporter and his lover into Mr Wong's residence where they are captured and nearly become victims themselves. Luckily, there is a telephone there and he calls for the police and at the end, Mr Wong is shot dead.
The Mysterious Mr Wong has everything you would expect in this kind of movie: hidden doorways, secret passages, mysterious rooms and a torture chamber where Wong kills his victims.
As well as Bela Lugosi as Mr Wong, the movie also stars Wallace Ford (The Ape Man) as the reporter and Fred Warren.
This is worth a look at, especially for Bela Lugosi fans. Enjoyable.
Rating: 3 stars out of 3.
