The Yellow Menace

• Watchlist

Episode 1: "The Higher Power" This episode tells of the fanatical ambition of a mysterious Mongolian, Ali Singh, who is a scientist, and a thinker of depth and originality. He develops into a brutal fanatic who stops short of no means to exalt the Yellow Race at the expense of the White. That Ali Singh is recognized as a powerful leader among the Mongolian race is shown in the first episode, when, by the majesty of his presence, he quells a Chinese riot which all but annihilates the White colonists in Hung Kai. Later Ali Singh goes to America to lead his followers in their efforts to overcome the supremacy of the White race. By the sheer determination of his personality, he has a multitude of Mongolian men at his beck and call, who stop at nothing to carry out his commands. At the time Ali Singh arrives, Mr. Bronson, a banker of international importance, is backing an Anti-Alien law which aims to exclude all yellow men from this country. Determined to leave nothing undone that will further his cause, Ali Singh delivers secretly to Mr. Bronson a mysterious note hurled through a window at the point of a knife threatening Mr. Bronson with death if he does not withdraw his support from the Anti-Alien bill. Mr. Bronson enlists the aid of the police and secret service departments, which immediately take up the fight against Ali Singh. The struggles which ensue between the Government agencies and Ali Singh form the substance of the remaining fifteen episodes.
