yeah

This is the Chief of Japanese Special

Military Operations, Commander Dashan.

Captain Jaitai, you've shown your

discipline. Now show your strength.

Please get in.

Captain, you're often referred to as the

hungry tiger. Well now,

I think it's time that we turn the tiger

loose. Good,

I'm glad. I'm a bit bored.

So what's the mission?You're going

into China. Shanghai first.

China?HmmSometime

soon. Japan is going to invade North

China. It'll take a while, but it's quite

inevitable. And after that, Asia.

But still, the government's not ready for

war yet. Although the army's been ready

for years now. And made our plans

accordingly. You see,

these last few years we've sent our spies

in, our best men. to infiltrate the

Chinese army.

Now then, it's time to

gather together what they've learned for

us. And so that's to be

my job. I'm to stay in Shanghai and act

as a mail drop there. That's right.

They've all had the same orders. Once

they have the maximum information to head

for Shanghai, contact you, drop the

stuff, and then you

transmit it all back here to us, and we

turn it over to the experts. once that's

done the war will start the orders will

go out invade China and

in 12 months at the very most we shall

have conquered her

so then it all

depends on you got that

well what's in it for me 1,000

pounds of gold how much down

just one-third a half right

Now who's my Shanghai contact?Get in

touch with the shipping agent there. Tai

An company. Now then, just

remember, play the whole thing very

quietly. And if you get caught,

then that's your tough luck. Because

we'll disown you. Are you

saying that I'm not to kill?No.

That's up to you. If you ever feel the

situation needs it, well then,

you kill.

You're down. Captain. I'm going down to

Hong Kong. You take care of the cab. Sir.

Come on! Where is it?Where you put it?

Come on! Speak up! Or I'll kill you!

Sir. What's all this?

He was taking pictures. For the camp

area. We can't find the film. He's hidden

it! I won't say where!

Hi. I just received your message.

What's it all about?Don't say you're

gonna promote me.

I'm just arranging to transfer you to

Shanghai. This man here is the head of

the Shanghai police force, Mr. Wong. He's

a very old friend of mine. HuhI hope

you're kidding. You've only just

approved my leave. And now you say I've

got to go to Shanghai. What is all this?

All right, perhaps you'll tell him.

HmmAll right. As you know, down in our

dark area, lately there's been big

trouble. There's a new gang. They're

specializing in white slaving. On the

side, they're also peddling narcotics

and some arms smuggling. Up to now,

we can't get near them. far

as we know, it seems to be a completely

new mob. So then that's the picture.

You've got plenty of men, though. What's

wrong with them?It isn't that this gang's

too smart. Up to now I've lost five

men. Every time I send one, the

gang spot him right away and then they

kill him. He sent his own brother in, and

now he's gone, just disappeared. So we

thought if we got an outsider in, there's

a chance the gang wouldn't spot him. It

might not work, but it's worth a try.

So I took a trip down here to see if you

were interested. You've got a reputation

as a gangbuster, and you seem to like

undercover work.

But naturally, we can't force you into

this. And if you don't want to do it,

then we'll think again. Wait now.

Colonel, I think I'd deserve some extra

leave if I took on this job. Is that

agreed?Of course. And

what about promotion?Will I get that?I

should think so. Right. And I'll take Su

Dong. I'll tell him.

When do I start?When you're ready. Right

now. Good.

I hope you have a good day! We'll see you

again tonight. Thanks a lot!

Goodbye!

Get lost. Get lost. Go on, get the hell

out of here. Go on.

Hmm

Don't you worry. There won't be any

problems. Ohh We've got this place sewn

up now. The business is very good. Lots

of stuff. Plenty of money. What more can

you ask for?And as for the

police, they're no problem. Just forget

them.

yeah

All right, you get out.

That's my son there. Lin Yung.

I'd like you to meet Mr. Jai Tan, just in

from Japan. And his bodyguard, Mr. Chu.

Ohh How do you do?

Perhaps you'd teach me karate. Here it's

great. That's right.

At least, compared with Chinese boxing,

it's considerably more efficient. Well,

couldn't we have a demonstration?

All right, you fight an opponent.

Oh.

Hey, you. That fellow

there claims that karate is better than

boxing. All right, you take him on.

You're a boxer. Huh, I'm De.

Damn coward!

Well, you can't blame him. I mean to say

he knows that I beat the hell out of him.

Right, we'll see about that.

That was great, that was great. Hey look,

Could you give me some lessons?Uh, look.

Mr. Jai's probably only gonna be here for

a week. Oh?Still, you can go to Japan to

study.

That young Russian girl, anything

definite yet?Yeah, don't worry. I've got

something laid on. Uh,

Mr. Lin?Uh-huhI'm expecting that quite a

few friends will be coming along to visit

me here this week. Oh. So please, you

take good care of them, huhDon't worry,

I'll see they're looked after. Hey you.

Huh

Come on, make a good job of them.

When do you think they'll be ready?I'll

bring them back tomorrow evening. That's

very quick and you get them so clean.

Thanks. Goodbye now. Goodbye.

Sue Lam, Sue Dong's already gone off to

bed. So I

thought I'd take a chance and write a few

lines. As it is, it may

be a long time before I get another

chance. I'm very sorry to have to

say this, but right now,It looks as

though we'll have to postpone our

marriage. I hope you won't be too

annoyed about this. But

still, there's nothing I can do until

this mission's finished. It's pretty

important. I

forgot to mention, the two of us are

in Shanghai now. It's my

first time here, and it seems like a very

good place. Big

town. Lots of people.

I know there's something going on. It's a

great pity we have to work. Su Dong

says he'd like to stay here.

I guess he could, if he wanted to. But

still, for me, there's no place like

home. And I hope that I'll

be with you again very soon. Umm

All right, 20 cents. What?So

much?The price must have gone up. I won't

pay. The price hasn't gone up at all.

That's normal. Yeah?

Well, I'm sorry. I don't have any money.

Pay you next time. I can't afford to give

credit. I've got to weed. Yeah?Well, all

right, unclean them. That's ridiculous.

Oh, is it?You do it. Ohh

You unclean them now. Take every bit of

polish off. Go on! Hurry!

HuhYou little swine you!

I'll

fix you. Guess you see. You wait there.

You dare?Come on.

Thank you, sir. You

all right?Umm

Better see the doctor. Where are you

living?You take him home.

Thanks for helping us. I'm Dabao.

This is Little Joker. Now you better get

out of here. They'll be back here with

friends. You couldn't beat them all.

Don't worry. But I'm not

going to run. I'm staying right here.

That's the one! All right.

Hey,

get

back!

If you've got any sense, you'll get out

of here, young man. Give him five

dollars. Right.

Here.

Huh I don't want it. Keep it.

You're really asking for it. Now listen,

you fool. Do you know who you're talking

to here?Be quiet.

Give him another five. Sir.

Here.

I don't need your money. I've got enough

of my own.

What do you want?A job.

HmmDoing what?Doing this.

Ah

I've seen you all start before. You've

probably been sent by the police. Get

him, Brad!

He's no police spy. I can vouch for him.

The boy's with me. And neither of us are

police spies. That looks like a rifle,

Mark.

Hmm What does that make them?Shanghai, it

usually is.

All right.

All rightWho are you, huh

The name's Lee. I'm looking for somebody.

And possibly you're the one.

Who?Lin San

Tai.

Why do you want him, huhWell, you

see, I was told that Mr.

Lynn can be very useful if one's looking

for a job. And in that case,

perhaps he can help me and find me a job.

Dad, the rest of the boys, they'recoming.

Well, all right.

Very good, very good.

While you fight, I can only assume you

must be a professional boxer. One

time. Lotus seed

and lotus leaf. One plant, one

flower, two in one. Go wood, fire, and

mud. They're all prime elements.

Yeah, right, I'm Lynn Sentai. Oh?

Sorry, Sorry let's go along to my place.

We can talk much more comfortably there.

Please, PleaseAll right.

Those men are some friends of mine from

Japan.

Uh, I'll introduce you. Oh

My friend, Mr. Jai Tyne. And this is Mr.

Lee who's going to be working for me now.

Well, there's one thing the company's not

going to be short of, and that's good

fighters.

What's all this?A police spy.

My men caught him snooping around.

HmmI hear that he may be the

commissioner's brother.

Here.

What's this?You're about to do your first

job for me. you can get rid of this

problem for me but don't make too much

mess do you mind

I've no objection to doing it I always do

what I'm told but still though

isn't this likely to make an awful lot of

trouble for us after all it is

murder don't you worry about that and

it's not the first spy I've had to get

rid of I think he's number seven

nobody knows we've got himAnd he can't be

traced here. You see, I've had a lot of

experience in this. And I promise you

there's not going to be any trouble. Now

go on.

Let me have a fan.

You see, doing it this way, says getting

your clothes all messed up. No, you

can't! You can't kill me! The police

will get you! No, you can't!

Well, I'm sorry about this. But you see,

this is my job, and nothing else.

You can't help it. And Nitic and I.

But still, there's one consolation.

They'll call you a hero.

God,you did that well now for

sure a nice clean job I must say

that you're really good with a knife

first class hey

you can get up now right

go on yeah

ah that was just a little test for me huh

I'm sorry but

still I can't be too careful herethat's

far too much at risk I can't afford

mistakes Lee

Cheng well I must say you're a good

actor huh

that's right you know that was a fake

knife there right from the start but you

still went through with it

you put on a very good performance

when I was young my father used to sell

them I can spot them a mile off

I knew it was a game, so I played along.

I could see that he wanted a performance,

so I thought, I'll give him a good one.

You did very well. In future, you won't

be acting either. All right, consider

yourself on the payroll. In Japan,

you'd never get a job through just

acting. You actually have to do

something. But I guess things are

different here. Who is this?

My personal bodyguard. You must excuse

him, please. He's old-fashioned

and does tend to have fixed ideas. Hmm

Let me try. Hmm

That wasn't bad, my friend, but how about

we take it one step further now?Assuming,

of course, you've got the guts.

Guess he's right. I'd be best. I

mean, may as well get the pecking order

straight first. Give him a whirl.

Hey. HuhDon't you worry. Just let them

get on with it. Good for them. In any

case, June eat the exercise.

hey

well that's enough now you both did well

but there's no need to go on someone

might get hurt we're all friends now and

so tonight we'll have a party

Cheers, man. Let's drink

up. Let's go. That's the bull.

Cheers. Cheers. Cheers. Come on. Drink

up, huhAll right.

Thank you. Thank you.

Well, let me propose a toast now. To

China and to Japan. Ah

Let's drink to the emperor. Right. Let's

drink to the emperor.

Hey, come on. Here.

Drink to the future of China. Drink up.

All right, help.

All right, where's the girls you promised?

Ready when you are.

Bring the girls.

Not for me, thanks.

I don't approve of women.

Where's the other?Here.

Your uncle took the cash. That's the way

it is. No point in crying. You may as

well accept it. Is that right?You better

let me go. That's the one I'm gonna have

tonight. She's a Russian girl.

I paid all for that one. Had my eye on

her for a long time. In fact, I bought

her for myself. But nevertheless,

you'll have her. Hey, hey,

hey Just take it

easy now. She's only young, and

originally she came from a well-known

family of aristocrats.

No! Now wait!

Hold it! I wonder.

All right now. Let him take her.

Sir.

Let's go.

So, you're Russian. What's your name?

Anna, do you mind if I ask

where you're taking me?To your home.

But why?Don't know.

You really are?That's right.

Really. Go whenever you like.

Dad. HuhLetter. Ah

Go on.

all right how many girls we short now do

you know the figures about ten it's

getting difficult to get girls the

trouble is they're all getting wise

nevertheless we've got to get another

shipment together this week hmm

how are the customs well right now

they're being quite tough so I think we

ought to wait after all

no point in pushing it I say let's wait a

few days

Dad, those two new guys. You

sure you've done the right thing?

I think so. They seem pretty good. And we

can always use men of that caliber.

They're damn good fighters and quite

smart. Don't worry.

I'll have their backgrounds checked out

thoroughly, very thoroughly.

Well, those two Japs intrigue me. I don't

know. They don't seem to fit into this.

Well, could they be armed smugglers?

That's possible. But why should they come

here?After all, it's an unnecessary

risk. They could settle anything by mail.

I don't know. Just

doesn't seem right. Well, what do you

think?

I don't know. Just have a hunch.

Something doesn't fit. And you know my

hunches. They're not often wrong.

We'll keep an eye on them. See what they

do.

This fellow wants to see you.

How's the weather in Shanghai these days?

Oh, the sun rarely shines these days. Ah

Just like in Japan. No, the sun shines

all the time there.

You got it?Sure, I have right here.

You can go now.

Oh,

sorry, sorry

Hey, hey I think you dropped your wallet.

Wallet?Hey, just hang on.

What?You picked my

pocket, you...

Doesn't you?You're enough!

Knock it off. I'll hurt you. Is that so?

Well, we'll see about that.

Damn

you!

It's okay.

I was stupid. Shouldn't have given it

back. That's all right.

Just forget it.

HuhWho was it?Who hit you?I'll fix him.

They've gone now.

Why is it you always help people?Don't

like bullies. Simple as that. Then why

are you hanging around with that crooklyn?

Can't tell you. Not just yet.

Come, let's take a little walk. Let

me have three.

It's Anna! Hey! It's Anna! Hey

Anna! Hey Anna! How are you?Where are

you going to?Delivering laundry. This is

our new friend. He's a very nice guy.

Here, I'll introduce you. This is our

neighbor, and this is our new friend. His

name is-- How are you?

Fine, thanks.

HuhHuhSeems they know each other.

Let's get out of here.

Shall we go?

Excuse me, got a light?

Anything happen yet?What did the boss say

about the Japanese?The boss says to

forget about them and he says to

concentrate on the white slaving

business. Something

new, huhNot yet.

Time to check those Japanese again.

You're wasting your time. Ah, thank you,

huhThank you. Hey,

look. Look there.

Good day. Do you usually forget to

knock?Or is there something specially

important?Um.. Go on.

Your man's fighting with Sue again. And I

thought that you ought to know about it.

And that's why I sort of burst in here. Ah

Well... Let's take a look

then.

All right. And what were you fighting

about this time?He was bragging about his

karate. It's no good. I can't stand him.

Okay. You did the right thing.

I don't give a damn what Lynn thinks. I

think there's something wrong about those

two. I'm inclined to agree.

We must be careful. The last thing

we want is to attract attention.

Well, I don't feel like being careful.

I'm running out of pieces.

Just cool it. You'll get your

chance. Within a matter of months,

Japan's going to invade China. Then you

kill as much as you want. How many we

waiting for?

Well, there's one do from the south.

And another one from the west. With luck

they should be here in a couple of days.

I still think we should ignore Lin and

simply knock off those two. Hmm

Don't worry.

I'll think of a way to convince Lin.

And then... He'll kill them.

Mr. Lin. HuhHow are your feelings about

doing this business with us?

I like it. Why not?You pay so well.

You know, I have to make a report out on

you when I get back. Well, just make sure

you say nice things. Huh

Is something wrong?Is there something

that you're not happy about?Not at all.

But for our future deals, you mightn't be

here. HuhAnd why not?Why shouldn't I

be here?Because two of your men are

police spies. Huh

You'll have to admit that it's possible.

And you know who I mean. There's

something very odd about them. Yes, I

know you're right, but they happen to be

such damn good fighters, though. So I

thought, unless there's positive proof

against them, I'll just carry on

using them.

Right. I can get you your

proof. And

then you can kill them both.

Lynn told me there's a big shipment going

out of here tomorrow night. He

wants us there to help him with it.

Oh. Well, I take it that he's

talking about a shipment of girls. That's

all it could be.

Well, this could be our chance, then. We

could stake out the docks and get the

whole lot. Your

move.

Going to inform our contact?

In check. How's that?

Afraid it won't be that easy.

Checkmate.

You lose then.

It's all wrong. Why should he tell

me?He can't

be absolutely certain of us yet.

So why should he tell me something

important like that?Doesn't make sense.

Unless it's a trap.

Well, perhaps he does trust us, and it's

quite genuine.

Yeah. But I would doubt it though.

We must report it. With no choice.

I mean, we have to.

We have to report now. I mean, there's

no time. It's tomorrow.

Go on. No. I think

it's a trap.

We'll leave it. Check around.

See what we can uncover.

My parents died. And then my uncle took

me with him when he went to Shanghai. And

since then we've lived here. I haven't

been very happy. He's a bad man.

You see, he's never treated me well.

Last week, he even tried to sell me off.

Fortunately.

You rescued me then. Ah, glad that I was

there. And my story's a bit like yours.

I was a young orphan too. And then Li

Cheng brought me up. I was lucky.

Yeah, he's been just like a brother to

me. Yes, you are lucky.

I wish I had a brother.

Or any good friend that I could turn to

now. No, you have.

There's me. You can always rely on me.

Also, Dabao and Little Joker.

Yeah, that's right. Little Joker

appears to have a problem too.

A year ago, his young sister was

kidnapped and sent abroad.

And he thinks he's sure that it was Len's

gang. Ohh He managed to trace her to this

place. Now he waits

for the next shipment out. He thinks that

he might be able to get on board the

ship. And that way, he might

trace her, find out where she is.

how often do they ship the girls out I'm

not sure but still

I've heard that it's twice a year

so then if little Joker misses tomorrow

night he'll have a long wait

what did you say Anna

you must do something for me what is it

it could be that there's another shipment

going out soon tomorrow night oh

it's not certainBut tell little Joker to

keep a lookout. But look, don't say I

told you. Oh, I'll just tell him I heard

he'd around town. He'll be so happy.

I'm sorry. Excuse me. Got a light?

Any news?

There's a shipment tomorrow. At least

that's what we're told. But still. Li

Chang thinks... You! Get to work! Don't

stand standing here! Go on!

Hey!

Okay, easy now. That's it. Now I'm

careful with it. Hey, hey

Hurry, hurry! Quickly! Hurry up! Come on!

Okay.

Babao, listen. You take good care of him.

Now then, you must promise me you

come back within a month whether you'll

find her or not. I know I'm gonna find

her. Anything else you want me to

do?Say

goodbye to Su Dong and Mr. Lee. Don't say

where we've gone, just say we left. Don't

tell them I've gone to find my sister. Hmm

Please sit down.

Now this is important, so listen.

The boxes are already at the wharf.

But still, I've delayed shipment. For

one day, until tomorrow.

Why's that?

You see... I was scared, but someone

squealed. Oh?Who is

it?Well,

I think it may be you. What?

Don't move now!

Well, I must say, that really isn't very

nice of you. But may I ask you, do you

have any proof of this?Not yet.

No. If I had, you would be dead a long

time ago. As it is. I've

been called stupid for waiting for proof

before I kill you both.

Well, if you were two police spies like

they say, you'll have reported the

shipment going out. But still, it's

not. When they check the boxes, there'll

be no girls.

But still, they will get quite a

surprise, though. They're all booby

trapped. And when your friends try to

open the boxes, they'll be blown to

pieces. And in the

meantime, we'll sit back here and wait

for the explosion. When we hear it,

those four knives will go straight into

your throats.

You'll have a long wait. And I feel

sorry for these poor fellows here. Their

arms are going to get tired. Huh

I'm sorry, but I've had a tiring day.

While we're waiting,

take a nap, huhHmm

What do you want?We're looking for our

friends. Go on. Go on, get lost, you.

Nobody's allowed down here tonight. Come

on! Come on Right.

What's going on tonight?

HmmIt's a pity I would have liked to have

seen them tonight.

Hey, listen now. Let's go in here.

They're probably there. HmmYeah,

right. Let's go in the back way, huh

Right. Right, come on. Hey, what's

going onLet's go in this way. This is the

back garden. Tell you what,

you go in first, and we'll wait. Right,

but careful. Sure, don't you

worry.

Look at that, he's pretty good.

Don't underestimate him. He doesn't look

the part, but he is a very good fighter.

Tell me now, have you thought at all

that some other member of your

organization may have tipped off the

police?And in that case, you'd

be killing the wrong people. Huh

I follow back, but I trust the rest of my

men. You're the ones who are suspect.

Nuts. I wouldn't put it past those japs

They both hate our guts. When the

boxes blow up, you'll just kill us. But

you'll never be sure if it was us.

I was right. We should never have joined

up with this crazy gang outfit.

Ah It's you.

I didn't expect you. We came to

help you, in case you needed a hand with

these two spies.

Well, now, looks like you're finished.

Knew you were a cop right from when I

first saw you. I'm glad

Mr. Lynn took my advice.

My God, Lynn's got both of them tied up

at knifepoint. And those boxes are

booby-trapped. When the police open them

up, the whole lot will be blown up.

The police, they're about. You go and

stop them. Right. Huh

All right, we'll soon see. It all depends

on what the next few minutes bring.

You know, if we survive

tonight, we'll return home tomorrow.

I like Shanghai. It's a nice place.

But even so, for me, it's too hard on the

nerves.

Back in

the trash, Sir.

Hold it! Hold it! Hold it!

That's just the ship's whittle.

Everything's okay. The cops didn't come.

Go on. Get out. Right.

All right. I'm sorry. But I really

couldn't afford to take any chances with

you. There's too much at stake. Sorry you

had such a bad time. Well, that's all

over.

So they came here to break up Lynn's

gang. Who'd have guessed it?They're damn

good actors. HmmWell, I would never have

thought that they're cops. And they've

promised to help us and see if they can

trace your sister. Well, that's

terrific, isn't it, huhThat's the best

news I could have, hmmSure, it's great.

Look.

Hey. We'll take him between us, shall we?

Um, uh, I can't do it. Hey, I'll show you

how. Umm Right.

Oh, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry,

sorry

Looks like a good one. I'll bet there's

500 in this one.

Yeah. 500!

What a laugh, huh

Hey! Hey Hey

What is this?I don't know.

Damn. Useless. Ditch it. No

wait. Let's see.

Where did this come from?It was in

somebody's wallet that we lifted. Whose?

He's gone.

This is a map of South China. It shows

where all the military bases are located.

All the airfields, naval

bases, and all of the

ammunition dumps. This map

could be dynamite. It's all top

secret. HuhWhat do we do?

When the owner finds out it's gone, he's

bound to start looking. You wait here.

And I'm gonna call the commissioner. Come

on. All right. You two keep your eyes

open. Right.

Hey, it's him! It's him!

You lost something. Uh, I'll let the

water. Why, have you found it?

Yeah.

Right

here. All right.

Batman. Where are you taking it?

What do you mean?I don't know, map. What

are you talking about, all right?That's

how you want it?Okay, then.

Listen. There must be a spy ring here.

Just forget the map. You must be

mistaken. Now you concentrate on Lin Sang

Thai, and make sure we grab that shipment

tonight. That map is more important. I'm

sure of it. Our bed is tied up with those

two Japanese. Ah, just because you are

the thing about the JapsNow listen. You

were sent up here to look into the white

slave racket. Anyway, we've had no

reports of a spy ring. What the hell do

you think I've been telling you?Enough.

Now look. You've got all your orders now.

Get on with him. And forget about the

spies. Is there an order?What if I don't?

EhI'll have you courts-martialed and

thrown in jail. Right! You do just that!

Talk!

You... You better speak up. Let's just

knock him off! Stupid! How can he talk if

he's dead?Come on, talk!

He told you! He won't say a thing. Huh

You don't seem to realize your position

here.

You, now you listen to me. We can do

whatever we want to you here.

And I'm going to cut you to pieces.

Duck!

Ohh

ohh Talk!

Who was the map for?Tell me! Talk!

All right. I'll talk. It was

Fujai time. He's working now for Len

sometime. He's Japanese! So I was

right. Chu Dong?

Chu Dong?Yeah. Come on, get rid of him.

Right. No. Come on, you, John.

You're missing one, man. You know that.

What?What do you mean?

You know damn well. I want the rest.

Hand it over.

Now listen, I know you're a cop and you

came here to break up Lin San Tai's mob.

You're another spy catcher though.

I suggest that you let me go and then

when Japan finally takes over the

government in China in a few months time,

I'll be back and I'll see that

you're suitably rewarded. The

papers! I see.

It's not going to be that easy.

Do you know, in Japan, what they call me

there?Hmm

It's the hungry tiger.

Oh, really?I have a nickname, too.

the crazy dragon.

You hand over those papers, and I'll see

that you're allowed to go back to Japan.

Huh

Well, thank you very much for the offer.

But I think I prefer to make my own

arrangements.

I'll get him. Go on.

No, John can't die. You

can't die. No,

no, noYou'll

be all right.
