'Mr. Moto Is So Sorry': Times were turbulent in the Orient. Japan, China and Russia were willing to go to any lengths to obtain their goals. The Japanese had their top Secret Agent, the super-polite, but super-deadly Mr. I.A. Moto, working night and day. Moto's prime objective was the safe delivery to Mongolia of a silver inlaid cigarette case...a very special case. To the uninformed it would appear to be a simple enough task, but you can be sure that whenever Mr. Moto is involved, nothing is what it seems. 'Think Fast, Mr. Moto': The heir to an American banking firm is sent to Honolulu to clear up a family matter involving a gambling house. Moto is also drawn to Hawaii to stop money being channeled into China to support revolutionaries. 'Thank You, Mr. Moto': A British man living in China gets caught in a dangerous art robbery involving his friend, Major Best, a young American art buyer, Eleanor Joyce, his Chinese friend Prince Chung, and possible Japanese spy, Mr. Moto. The Major is killed, and the bad guys think he gave information to the narrator before he died. The narrator tries to protect Ms Joyce, but they end up being kidnapped, probably to be killed.
