Doomed to Die Reviews

Mr. Wong (Karloff) investigates the murder of a shipping tycoon in the wake of the sinking of one of his ships with over $1 million in bonds aboard. Dick Fleming (Stelling) is suspected of the murder, but reporter Bobby Logan (Reynolds) believes him innocent and brings Mr. Wong in on the case. The Chinese sleuth quickly sorts through the red herrings to expose the real killer. This was the fifth and final Mr. Wong film to star Boris Karloff but the series had run out of gas long before. Monogram would try one more time with Chinese actor Keye Luke as a much younger Mr. Wong in PHANTOM OF CHINATOWN (1941). The film was a failure and Monogram finally put an end to the spotty series.
