Don Benton (Richard Basehart) is a HK based businessman who becomes involved in a US government mission to retrieve secret information from the clutches of Red China rather reluctantly. Making his way to Canton, he tangles with Russian stereotype Kong (Eric Pohlmann) and tries to rescue agent Lola (Lisa Gastoni).
The film is an interesting view of 1960s Red China, including the war on sparrows (which backfired terribly) but the dated stereotypes are a bit jarring. The film is a bit too low effort though is watchable and the views of 60s HK is enjoyable.
Hearing Bernard Cribbins attempt a Portuguese accent is a joy.
