Comment/Synopsis
A woman kills then man she thinks is responsible for her sister's suicide and then goes on the run after dying her hair. She is chased around the far east by a private detective and a policeman, but the detective catches up with her and falls in love with her without realising she is the woman he is looking for. The script is quite uneven and the effects quite poor, but the main problem is that Fredric March and Ralph Bellamy both seem miscast and uncomfortable in their roles. This leaves the film OK, but not really acheiving its full potential.
