The second Mr. Moto feature finds Peter Lorre on the Chinese frontier of the Gobi Desert with an archaeological expedition finding the last of a set of seven scrolls. They allegedly will lead to the as yet undiscovered tomb of Genghis Khan. Undiscovered and hopefully unpilfered like King Tut's tomb was it will contain fabulous riches.
At least that's what villains Sidney Blackmer and two timing wife Nedda Harrigan hope for. Blackmer has already killed Harrigan's husband Sig Ruman for the other scrolls. Mother and son Philip Ahn and Pauline Frederick also die for these scrolls in one of the bloodiest of Mr. Moto features.
Of course in the end Moto does triumph and when he does he keeps a vow to a dying man. He also plays on Frederick's jealousy and knowledge of what a rat Blackmer can be.
