However, what she's actually doing is leading a Chinese resistance cell, guerrillas against the occupying Japanese.After two American pilots, members of the famous Flying Tigers squadron, are shot down, Kwan-Mei's guerrilla band hides one, but when the other pilot is captured by the Japanese the guerrillas resolve to rescue him, a task that becomes more urgent when General Kaimura (Harold Huber) of the Japanese army shows up in the village, to prepare for a major Japanese ground offensive.Mae Clarke plays Lavara, a White Russian émigré who sings in the local hotel.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Bittersweet Ending: Kwan-Mei is shot by the Japanese (Anna May Wong was a invokedChronically Killed Actor for much of her career), but Kaimura gets his, dying moments later from the bullet Kwan-Mei put in his gut. More importantly, the Chinese resistance will continue, and with the free nations of the world they'll crush the Japanese.

Alcohol Hic: Gen. Kaimura, who has a serious drinking problem, does this when quaffing far too much champagne while sweet-talking Kwan-Mei.

The Chanteuse: Lavara's job, singing in the seedy local hotel run by the local Nazi, Herr Gruber.

Dramatic Irony: Kwan-Mei, who got into Kaimura's headquarters with her looks but still professes loyalty to the Japanese occupiers, tells Kaimura: "Well, here's hoping that every Chinese you meet from now on will be as loyal as I am."
