Dr. Fu Manchu, through The League of Good Americans, throws his support to a presidential candidate whom he intents to use as a puppet dictator. Of course, Nayland Smith is back to try to stop , ably assisted by federal agent Mark Hepburn.

Cheating his past-due death by a sinister miracle of science, the immortal mastermind of world-wide crime plans his most daring stroke—theft of the ultimate weapon which will deliver all mankind into his grasp!

Nayland Smith pursues Fah Lo Suee, the deadly daughter of Dr. Fu Manchu, across Egypt. Possessing all of her father's subversive secrets and driven by the same unquenchable thirst for power, she has pillaged the tomb of the Black Ape for the key to its ancient mysteries—and leadership over all the evil cults of the East.

After discovering the tomb of El Mokanna—the Veiled Prophet—and retrieving the precious relics buried there, the eminent archaeologist Sir Lionel Barton blows up the tomb. The heretic sect faithful to Mokanna interpret the fireball as their prophet’s second coming, and a violent uprising begins. Meanwhile, the insidious Dr. Fu Manchu senses an opportunity to use the powerful relics for his own evil ends. The action stretches from Persia to Cairo, then back to London, including an extraordinary confrontation inside of the Great Pyramid. Along the way his opponents face Ogboni killers, mind-control drugs, dervishes, and a “ghost mosque.”

Dr. Fu Manchu is on the run but still up to his nefarious schemes. He captures Dr. Petrie’s daughter Fleurette and takes her to London where Alan Sterling, her fiancé, and Nayland Smith track him down. Fu Manchu is cut off from his Si-Fan resources so he comes up with a quick money making plot; turning lead into gold...
