Scotland Yard's Nayland Smith and Dr. Petrie are unable to prevent the kidnaping of Marie Lentz, a famed scientist's daughter who is brought to Fu Manchu's North African headquarters in the Sahara, only to learn that Fu Manchu possesses a lethal death ray. In time, Smith, Dr. Petrie, and Marie's fiancé, Franz Baumer, make their way to Fu Manchu's temple, but the death ray apparatus has already been set on a destructive course. Fu Manchu's "brides" barricade the doors against him and assist Smith and Dr. Petrie in resetting the death ray's tracking device, and the temple explodes after they have escaped. As he watches, Nayland Smith believes he hears the words, "the world will hear from me again," coming to him across the desert.
