“Peter Lorre gives you your greatest thrill”

In 1938, Scotland Yard has a problem it cannot solve on its own: a league of assassins that sells killing to anyone who can pay. Mr. Moto (Peter Lorre), the Japanese detective, takes the case and sets about rounding them up. Norman Foster keeps the investigation moving from one lead to the next, with Moto working through each clue in his quiet, methodical way.
