Shadow of Chinatown 1936
Released both as a 15-chapter serial and as a condensed feature
version (for theaters that didn't use serials). The story (serial and/or feature)
deals with the plotting of a European importing firm to put
Chinese trade competition in a west coast Chinatown - city
unnamed, but it's by the bay and it isn't Oakland - out of
business. Their representative, Sonya Rokoff/The Dragon Lady,
a beautiful Eurasian girl, hires Victor Poten, a mad Eurasian
chemist and inventor and an equal-opportunity racist who
hates both Chinese and White races, to aid her. Poten,
by means of his infernal inventions and underworld
henchmen, conducts successful raids on the Chinese
merchants and also successfully eludes the people
hunting and investigating him.
