Later, Jonathan Westering of MI5 arrives and informs Moto that an upcoming summit of oil executives and diplomats will be held at his house.

Moto is later deceived by a man posing as Inspector Halliday, who claims to have an important contact at the Arabian Nights restaurant.

At the summit, American oil executive David Lennox arrives with his lover, Maxine Powell, who poses as his secretary.

At the summit, Moto, posing as a Japanese diplomat, persuades the Shahrdar to keep Lennox's lease instead of awarding it to Hussein's company.

The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "Peter Lorre's quizzical little Japanese detective, here refurbished with a fashionably new James Bond-ish image as a member of Interpol, remains as enigmatic as ever and is rather well played by Henry Silva.

Otherwise the script has more complications than excitement; and Ernest Morris' direction is curiously laboured, although the opening sequence of McAllister's assassination generates some tension.

Henry Silva's impersonation of a Japanese businessman when he takes to disguise in the second half of the film (he plays his role as Mr. Moto without make-up) livens things up considerably.
