A travel agent, called Don Benton, in Hong Kong gets involved with a disputed plane crash and a secret agent in Canton. This is reasonably entertaining though Richard Basehart is unconvincing as Benton but the film does have Burt Kwouk as his Chinese friend Jimmy, Bernard Cribbins as his Portuguese employee Pereira and Eric Pohlmann as the dubious spy Ivono Kong to provide more thespian entertainment. On the distaff side Athene Seyler is suitably maternal as Mao Tai Tai and Lisa Gastoni is fascinating as the agent Lola Sanchez with her head full of dangerous knowledge. It looks good with plausible settings photographed in glowing Technicolour.
It was rather mean for Lola Sanchez to get killed at the end. She was my favourite character.
