par
Dr. Fu Manchu, the brilliant and ruthless criminal mastermind created by Sax Rohmer, is pursued by his determined adversaries in this radio adaptation of the adventure series. The stories center on the danger posed by Fu Manchu’s schemes and the efforts to uncover and thwart them.
Presented as a serialized dramatic program, The Shadow of Fu Manchu brings the suspense of Rohmer’s fiction to radio through spoken performance and sound. Its world of investigation, peril, and international intrigue gives the series a classic adventure-mystery atmosphere.
The appeal lies in the contrast between Fu Manchu’s calculating menace and the persistence of those who oppose him. This episode is titled “Insidious Dr. Fu Manchu.”
