Cheryl Banning (Martha Hyer) arrives in Japan to clear her dead brother name. Her brother had been involved in selling Opium and used his import business as a cover.
He was killed under mysterious circumstances and Cheryl wants tp prove his innocence. She runs into a kindly English gentleman named Roger Mansfield (Byron Michie) who decides to help Cheryl in her task.
Cheryl and Roger uncover a name of Tom Putnam, and he seems to be the one who caused Cheryl's brother to be killed. As they investigate further, they fall for each other and soon Cheryl finds some shocking facts out about Mr. Mansfield.
All the while this is going on we are also introduced to Mr. Unmei who, according to Japanese legend, is a spirit known as fate, and if you see him you are going to die.
This all mixes into an interesting mixture of crime drama and subtle supernatural elements. One of the directors of this was George Breakston who also brought us "The Manster".
The rest of the cast also includes Tetsu Nakamura, Richard Binge, Kokuten Kodo and Richard Hughes. If you get a chance, check this out. It's very unique.
