Richard Basehart runs a travel agency in Hong Kong. He has deep connections into the Chinesse community dating back to the War, so when pilot Burt Kwouk goes down near Canton, he goes n and gets him out. But Kwouk's papers vanished with the plane, so the police put him into custody, while Basehart heads back to Canton, to find Lisa Gastoni, who wants him to smuggle people out, and Chinese security man Eric Pohlmann, who wants to arrest everyone.
It has a view of China in this period straight out of Terry and the Pirates, but Basehart's calm demeanor and deep voice instill a sense of calm reality on this Hammer film directed by Michael Carreras. It doesn't always make sense, but it keeps moving right along. Wtih Athene Seyler and Bernard Cribbins.
