Plot

In 1900, the mysterious murder of a white woman and a Native American man in San Francisco's Chinatown triggers a race against time as the Chinese suspect and the Native American's adopted Chinese son work to uncover the truth while a politician seeks to leverage the Chinese Exclusion Bill as well as the prevailing xenophobia and racism to close down Chinatown and elect himself as the mayor.

Sinekatalog’s take

A period mystery-comedy set in an immigrant quarter, blending slapstick, action and social commentary. The production design is lavish and the pace lively. Entertaining for fans of the franchise and sprawling detective capers.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
