ALL SCI-FI

I love a good mystery, especially the ones from the 1930s and 1940s. _

Here's a good one which stars Keye Luke (the old master from Kung Fu) as a bright young detective in San Francisco, hot on the trail of murderer.

I'm going to watch this movie in the near future — possibly with a few friends in All Sci-Fi's Chatzy Room.

The YouTube provider (Timeless Classic Movies) included this description of the premise.
________________________________

In the middle of a pictorial lecture on his recent expedition to the Mongolian Desert, Dr. John Benton (Charles Miller) the famous explorer, drinks from the water bottle on his lecture table, collapses and dies.

His last words "Eternal Fire" are the only clue Chinese detective Jimmy Wong (Keye Luke) and Captain Street (Grant Withers) of the police department have to work on. Win Len (Lotus Long), Benton's secretary, reveals the doctor's dying words refer to a scroll which tells the location of rich oil deposits.

Wong and Street then begin the search for the killer among Benton's associates.

Directed by Phil Rosen, produced by Paul Malvern, written by Hugh Wiley and Gilbert Bettison, starring Keye Luke as James Lee Wong, Grant Withers as Police Captain Street, Lotus Long as Win Lee, Charles F. Miller as Dr. Benton, Huntley Gordon as Dr. Norman Wilkes, Virginia Carpenter as Louise Benton, John Dilson as Charles Fraser and Paul McVey as Detective Grady.
