The film was made to capitalize on Sax Rohmer's then current book, Daughter of Fu Manchu, which Paramount did not own the rights to adapt. Despite being the starring lead and having top billing in this film, Wong was paid only $6,000, half the money for her role that Oland was paid for his, even though Oland had less screen time than Wong. In a 2020 article about Wong, O, The Oprah Magazine linked this discrepancy to racism. ## Credits - **Director:** [Lloyd Corrigan](https://cinepixo.com/people/lloyd-corrigan) - **Screenplay:** [Lloyd Corrigan](https://cinepixo.com/people/lloyd-corrigan), [Sidney Buchman](https://cinepixo.com/people/sidney-buchman), [Monte M.
