This low budget Monogram film is not short on intrigue or mystery. The largest sapphire in the world, "Eye of the Daughter of the Moon", has been stolen from an antiques collector, Brandon Edwards (Morgan Wallace), at the same time of his murder. His wife (Dorothy Tree) and her lover (Craig Reynolds) are of course of great suspects. The renown Chinese sleuth Mr. Wong (Boris Karloff) is called on to solve both crimes, and the clues are leading to one culprit. Once again Wong calls on his friend Police Captain Sam Street (Grant Withers) to help in the investigation.
