Overview: Mr. Moto's Last Warning
cast/info: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0031678/
This is a movie is the 6th of 8 Mr. Moto movies that starred Peter Lorree as Mr. Moto (9th movie didn't star Peter Lorre; http://www.drberlin.com/mr_moto.htm). The Mr. Moto movies are based off of the Mr. Moto books (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mr._Moto).
It was not-rated since this movie was made before such standards were made but I would have to give it a G rating since it is a very clean movie. I rated this movie a 4/5 for it's cleanness and good/simple story plot as well as having "Pee-ter Lo-rree" (how I like to say his name). The deduction was for not being spectacular in anything and not top-performances from actors/actresses in the movie.
This movie starts off where several people are on a boat having a good time but one of these people is actually trying to use these people to find Mr. Moto. After several scenes and introductions of characters the man finds who people claim to be Mr. Moto. He goes after Mr. Moto, with his henchmen who are all disguised on board, and get rid of Mr. Moto. But they happen to get rid of the wrong man who was used as a double for Mr. Moto to investigate the henchmen and find out what their scheme is.
Upon arriving on shore, the henchmen go visit a saloon where they hold their headquarters (upper floor). In these headquarters the scheme of these henchmen is found out but not before one of the henchmen is found to work for the British Secret Service. During the henchmen's stay Moto, while hiding and trying to listen in vain, meets with the British agent. But this event unexpectanly results in the demise of the agent later when his identity is compromised.
Also along the way Mr. Moto discovers a fellow, besides the British agent, who has been around these henchmen whom the real Mr. Moto (Lorre) uses to find out exactly what these men are up to and the specifics.
Once Mr. Moto discovers that these men intent to cause a war for financial and personnel gain, he forms a disguise and discovers the warehouse in which the henchmen are currently meeting in. But while in the warehouse he gets caught and must fend for his life using his jujitsu skills.
In the end, Mr. Moto is able to narrowly put an end to the start of a war and saves the day once again.
