Moto (Peter Lorre) thwarts a ruthless band of international agents who try to foment an international incident by mining the entrance to the Suez Canal and blaming the British.
Worth noting is that one of the saboteurs (Danforth) is played by John Carradine, the patriarch of the Carradine family. At this point he was part of John Ford's stock company, but had not quite broken out with his roles in "Stagecoach" (1939) and "Grapes of Wrath" (1940), so his Moto role could reasonably be called pre-fame.
Thanks to its accidentally falling into the public domain, this is the most-seen Moto film. While not the best, it is a good entrance into his world, and hopefully a cheap copy will encourage fans to seek out better versions.
