The Mysterious Mr. Wong

The Mysterious Mr. Wong

The Mysterious Mr. Wong is a tongue-in-cheek 1934 mystery film starring Bela Lugosi as a powerful Fu Manchu type criminal mastermind of the Chinatown underworld, and Wallace Ford as a wisecracking reporter. The film is based on Harry Stephen Keeler's 1928 short story "The Strange Adventure of the Twelve Coins of Confucius" one of three stories in Keeler's book Sing Sing Nights. Despite the name of the title character and being directed by William Nigh, it has no relation to Monogram Pictures later Mr Wong film series. The character of Mr. Wong does not appear in the original story.

Too late, it's already been done.

Say, can I call you by my last name?

I'll have to think about it.

You wouldn't dare!

Wong has dared many things. He will continue to dare. And one day when he is acclaimed by all of Keylat.

You are wrong! You were never intended by fate to rule Keylat!
