Every time someone comes to Mr. Wong for help, it seems like they die. Like in this film - the third movie in the series of William Nigh-directed, Boris Karloff-starring movies - when Princess Lin Hwa (Lotus Long, who played the murderous maid in The Mystery of Mr. Wong) comes for his assistance and she's killed with a poison dart.
It turns out that she was the daughter of a Chinese general who was in America to buy airplanes to send to China. Yet the money she had intended to use has been stolen and someone has put a hit out on the life of Mr. Wong.
Luckily, he has the help of reporter Roberta Logan (Marjorie Reynolds), the girlfriend of Mr. Wong's trusted police contact Captain Bill Street (Grant Withers).
For as much as this series gets compared to Charlie Chan, this story was remade as The Chinese Ring, one of the Charlie Chan films. And the dwarf in this movie, Angelo Rossitto, was in The Wizard of Oz the same year this was filmed. He had over a hundred roles, including Freaks, Mesa of Lost Women, Fairy Tales, Galaxina and Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome, where he was The Master.
