Shadow of Chinatown is both a film serial and a feature film edited from the serial made by Sam Katzman's Victory Pictures.
A consortium of American businesses are disturbed by the loss of profits due to Chinese businesses located in Chinatowns in the United States. They hire a pair of Eurasians and their criminal organization to eliminate their competition.
The serial was known originally as just Chinatown and was written with Lugosi in mind.
A feature version of this serial was released simultaneously with the serial itself. It was also called "Shadow of Chinatown" and contained no new footage.
