SYNOPSIS:
In this final episode of the Boston Blackie series Blackie doesn't make it to China, but Chinatown is the next best thing. Our hero and his side-kick find themselves on the wrong end of a murder that was committed there, which (of course) they didn't commit. Blackie and The Runt are accused of the murder after they are seen exiting a Chinese laundry where the proprietor is soon found dead. Blackie must find the real killers before he gets in real trouble. Our heroes solve the mystery when they catch the real murderer in a surprise ending. Tong gangs, tea shops, and gems make it a fun, if predictable, romp.
