It must have been a reboot or a prequel, since Wong and Captain Street (Grant Withers) seemed to be meeting for the first time. Maybe they had to do it that way, because Luke was obviously younger than Karloff.

We have a room that's been ransacked and Wong remarks the murdered girl didn't put up a struggle. We have the word "tous" inexplicably showing up in a sentence. We have a silencer on a revolver.<br /><br />For all that I enjoyed this little romp despite plots hole big enough to pull a rickshaw through.Cap'n Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11783977137812876489noreply@blogger.com
