Luckily, I've never been a great fan of charades - which is just as well because in this short and sweet little murder mystery, it (called "Indications" here) proves to have quite lethal consequences! It falls to "Capt. Street" (Grant Withers) assisted by criminologists "Wong" (Boris Karloff) and his pal "Janney" (Holmes Herbert) to try to establish why "Edwards" was shot during the role-playing game. As ever, there…
A gay party is interrupted by murder and the world's most costly jewel stolen!
Detective James Lee Wong must find the "Eye of the Daughter of the Moon," a priceless but cursed sapphire stolen in China and smuggled to America. His search takes him into the heart of Chinatown and to the dreaded "House of Hate" to find the deadly gem before it can kill again.
