Phantom of Chinatown is a 1940 film about a Chinese-American detective who investigates the murder of an archaeologist.

Directed by Phil Rosen. Written by Hugh Wiley.

A thousand suspects... 20 fingerprints... a Chinese temple... Mr. Wong solves a murder! (taglines)

James Lee Wong

Greetings. Only the eyebrows of youth would have the temerity to call the beard of age at such an hour.

There's just one thing - in every murder mystery and detective story I've ever read, the person they throw the most suspicion on is never the killer!

Capt. Street

1,000 fingerprints, 25 suspects, ancient scrolls - What a case!

I don't want to hear any more Oriental hocus-pocus. All I want to know is, who killed Dr. Benton!

Win Lee

Mr. Wong, I think you've been reading too many detective stories!

Charles Frasier

You're very clever, Mr. Wong, but you still don't have the scroll - and you'll never get it!

Dialogue

Capt. Street: What's this?

Jonas: The sarcophagus from the Chinese tomb sir, that once contained the body of a Ming Emperor.

James Lee Wong: They tell me that a Chinese archaeological expedition is digging up the body of George Washington in exchange.

Taglines
