El embrujo de Shanghai (1941)
El gobernador de la decadente y cosmopolita Shanghai notifica a Madre Gin Sling, dueña de un famoso casino, que el local será derribado para remodelar el distrito. La dama averigua que detrás de ese movimiento especulativo está el acaudalado Sir Guy Charteris. Con motivo de la celebracion del Año Nuevo Chino Sir Guy y otros invitados se sientan a la mesa de Madre Gin Sling. Allí, el oscuro pasado del especulador se pondrá al descubierto.
