Plot
While sightseeing in Bangkok, Phyllis Leighton, a young American girl, is kidnapped by white slavers. Her mother approaches New York Police Captain Tom Rowland who is attending a conference in Bangkok. With little for the police to go on, Phyllis's frantic mother Maud telephones private eye Joe Walker in New York, asking him to come to Bangkok to find her daughter.
Phyllis finds herself on an island with other kidnapped women who are being forced into prostitution. Soon after Joe Walker's arrival both he and Tom are subject to a multitude of assassination attempts by flame thrower, blowgun and poison gas. Their only clue is that each of the dead unsuccessful assassins have a tattoo of three golden serpents.
