- SynopsisNayland Smith and Dr Petrie obtain possession of the Tulum Nur Chest. (Synopsis) Rl. 1 Nayland Smith and Dr Petrie obtain possession of the Tulum Nur Chest from Dr. Fu Manchu. With Karamaneh they take to their hotel where a dishonest waiter tries to force it open during the night and collapses in agony. Karamanmeh finds the man who dies screaming "golden pomegranates!". She rushes out to find assistance and narrowly escapes being kidnapped by Zarmi, Fu Manchu's accomplice. The timely arrival of Inspector Weymouth saves her and with Smith and Dr Petrie they force open the chest which contains golden pomegranates shielding a poisoned dart which had killed the waiter. Karamaneh offers to show them Fu Manchu's hiding place and whilst she waits outside with Dr Petrie and the police, Smith, disguised as a drunken seaman, enters the criminal's haunts. Fu Manchu, also in disguise is quick to recognise his enemy. (1293). Rl. 2. Not receiving any signal from Smith, Petrie decides to raid the place. A funeral procession passes as the raids commence. Karamaneh is seen by Fu Manchu's dacoits and captured. No trace is discovered of Smith except his pipe, but Petrie remembers the funeral and surmises that his friend was in the coffin. Meanwhile, Fu Manchu gloats over his victims - Smith being stretched out on the floor and Karamaneh imprisoned in a mummy case. The wicked criminal releases a swarm of ravenous rats and snakes into the cellar. Petrie and Weymouth force one of Fu Manchu's accomplices to tell them where the captives are and a rescue is effected in time, but Fu Manchu makes a successful getaway (2094ft). (Shotlist)
