Before James Bond travelled the world in pursuit of the baddies, Dick Powell did the same with a lot more class and a lot less car chases and explosions.
Powell is Commissioner Barrow, on a mission with the Coast Guard, off the shores of California, witnessing the murdering of a hundred Chinese dumped overboard by a Japanese ship captain.
Identified as drug slaves involved in intercontinental narcotic traffic, Barrows follows their tracks to China and then Egypt and Cuba and back to the US, meeting along the way allies and enemies.
A woman in particular could be the ring leader, given her suspicious presence in all the key areas, but is she? Or she is just an innocent widow trying to do well?
Very entertaining and modern.
