MR. MOTO TAKES A VACATION-1939-The (phony)
Japanese detective gets involved in protecting an ancient relic
called “The Queen of Sheba's Crown” in San Francisco's Chinatown.
Moto (who also appears in disguises) is less suspiciously acting than
usual and is shot at several times by a mysterious trench coated
figure. Mr. Featherstone (GP Huntley), the English dandy shows up to
get in the way and Moto surmises that Mataxsa, an international jewel
thief might be after the crown despite the fact that he's suppose to
be dead! Suspects include Hildebrand (Lionel Atwill) the museum
curator, Stevens (John “Dusty” King), the guy who headed the
expedition that found the crown and Manderson (Joseph Schildkraut),
the expedition's sponsor. In their finale fight Moto and Mataxsa
nearly wreck the museum!
Norman Foster once again directed this, the
last of 8 Mr. Moto films with Peter Lorre.
