- Hong Kong, 1910. When his daughter is murdered by the Red Dragon Tong, British skipper Jackson Sale (Geoffrey Toone) vows to crush the corrupt organisation. He wins the devotion of Lee (Yvonne Monlaur), a Tong collector's 'bond slave', and tracks down the Red Dragon's inscrutable leader, Chung King (Christopher Lee).
