The prison ship is a valuable piece of property as it is a money-maker-a concession at a local amusement park. Charlie Bong, a half -breed Chinese, realizes its value and tries to induce Lucy to sell it to him. She refuses and starts with her lawyers to see the ship. On the way the lawyers take a cab but run out of gas on a hill. The car chases them down one hill and up another, finally cooping them up on the rear bumpers and depositing them, along with a gentleman of color they have picked up on the way, on the gang-plank of the ship. At the entrance of the ship they are greeted by the sight of several of the instruments of torture u d on the old ship and the colored gent gets the first shock. While they are looking over the ship a trap door opens, depositing the visitors into the under-deck dungeons filled with more torture instruments. George and Phil, the lawyers get separated from each other and find themselves in various parts of the ship. An old Chinese caretaker, seeing the strangers tries to entrap them in the various torture machines while the visitors seek to escape. Written by Press Sheet from Library of Congress See less
