Fu Manchu's 168th birthday celebration is dampened when a hapless flunky spills Fu's age-regressing elixir vitae. Fu sends his lackeys to round up ingredients for a new batch of elixir, starting with the Star of Leningrad diamond, nabbed from a Soviet exhibition in Washington. The FBI sends agents Capone and Williams to England to confer with Nayland Smith, an expert on Fu.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A campy romp through spy-movie tropes and pulp villainy played for laughs, where the stakes are ridiculous and the humor lies in the deadpan absurdity of it all.
