Il s'agit du second opus de la série de longs métrages de Mr Wong avec Boris Karloff, dans le rôle du détective chinois. Le richissime collectionneur de pierres précieuses Brandon Edwards confie à Wong avoir pris possession du plus grand saphir étoilé du monde, "l'Œil de la Fille de la Lune", après qu'il eut été volé en Chine, il lui confie par cette occasion que sa vie est en danger. Au cours d'une réception mondaine, Edwards est mystérieusement abattu pendant un jeu de rôle tandis que le saphir disparaît. A l'insu de Wong, le bijou est dérobé par la femme de chambre d'Edwards, Drina, qui a l'intention de le rapatrier en Chine, mais celle-ci ne tarde pas à être assassinée à son tour. La liste des suspects est longue et les mobiles du crime ne manquent pas, d'autant que plusieurs personnages ambigus convoitaient Valérie Edwards en raison de son physique et de sa fortune. Wong aura du mal a confondre le coupable, mais il parviendra après avoir réuni chez lui tous les suspects.
