The Fiendish Plot of Dr. Fu Manchu

“BEWARE! See this movie - An hour later you'll want to see it again!”

Fu Manchu's 168th birthday party goes wrong when a clumsy flunky spills the elixir vitae that keeps him young, and he sends his men after the ingredients for a new batch. First on the list is the Star of Leningrad diamond, lifted from a Soviet exhibition in Washington. Piers Haggard has Peter Sellers play both Fu Manchu and Nayland Smith, the English detective sworn to stop him, so the feud between them is really a man arguing with himself about growing old.
