the fatal hour (1940)


aka Mr Wong at Headquarters.
"Oh, the Chinese copper!"
Captain Street's (Grant Withers) best friend, a detective working smuggling, is murdered. Street immediately enlists James Lee Wong (Boris Karloff) to help. This takes Wong onto the San Francisco waterfront.
Karloff's fourth appearance as the Chinese detective. Like the rest, this is a cheap but enjoyable thriller.
