Produdcers Releasing Corportion comes to the rescue in this low, low-budget flag-waver from the mid war years. PRC films always have that filmed in a week for 50 bucks look for a reason. They were filmed in a week for 50 bucks! Having said that, every so often they knocked off a watchable cheapie. This "is", one of those watchable programmers. Anna May Wong plays the leader of the local Chinese guerrilla fighters taking on the Japanese. She dolls herself up and cuddles up to the Japanese garrison commander. She extracts all the info she needs before pulling out a pistol and dispatching the swine. There is secondary sub-plot with some downed Flying Tigers pilots. This film is no great masterpiece, but as an example of a wartime flag-waver it is worth a look. Hack director William Nigh did manage to turn out a couple of decent time-wasters with great titles like, I WOULDN'T BE IN YOUR SHOES, DOOMED TO DIE, ESCAPE FROM HONG KONG etc.
