A man calling himself Sam Marlowe (Robert Sacchi) has his face altered to resemble that of his idol, Humphrey Bogart, and then opens a detective agency. At first he and his secretary Duchess (Misty Rowe) have meager business, but things pick up after a shooting puts Sam's picture in the paper. Some ruthless people, who are coincidentally also similar to characters in Bogart films (and played by Victor Buono, Herbert Lom, and Michelle Phillips), are after a priceless set of stones called the Eyes of Alexander (from a statue of Alexander the Great), and Marlowe and Duchess are caught in the middle of it all.

A young woman named Mei Li arrives from China as an illegal immigrant with her father in San Francisco, California to enter into an arranged marriage with the owner of a night club, Sammy Fong (inspired by the actual Forbidden City nightclub). Her intended is already involved with his leading showgirl, Linda Low, and does his best to dissuade Mei Li from marrying him, sending her to live in the house of Master Wang, where he presents her as prospect for Master Wang's son, Wang Ta. Dissolving the marriage contract is harder than either of them imagine. Master Wang is persuaded by his sister-in-law, Madame Liang, to allow Mei Li to fall in love naturally with Master Wang's son, Wang Ta. But Wang Ta is dazzled by the charms of Linda, who 'enjoys being a girl', and succeeds in landing a date with her, during which she convinces him to give her his fraternity pin (it symbolizes that they're "going steady"). Linda wishes to use Wang Ta to get a real commitment from Sammy Fong, who gets wind of her plan when Linda attends a party in honor of Wang Ta's and Madame Liang's graduation from university and citizenship classes, respectively. At the party, Linda has another club employee pretend to be her brother, and grant his permission for Linda to marry Wang Ta. Mei Li, hearing this, becomes discouraged, while Ta and his father argue over his marriage plans. Ta argues that he is old enough to make his own decisions, but the father says that he will be the one to let Ta know when he is old enough.

Quatre naufragés dont la fille d'un milliardaire américain (Irish McCalla) échouent sur une île volcanique non cartographiée, mais dont il apparaît rapidement qu'elle sert de cible aux exercices de l'US Air-Force. L'un des naufragés étant rapidement abattu à coups de sagaie, les trois rescapés tentent l'exploration de l'île. Ils découvriront le cadavre d'un jeune femme au visage hideux, puis assistent à une danse exécutée par une douzaine de filles en tenue légère, et découvrent enfin un curieux laboratoire souterrain où un ancien criminel nazi (Rudolph Anders) se livre à d'étranges expériences de transmutation de peau afin de tenter de guérir sa femme gravement brûlée au visage. Les naufragés sont capturés, les deux hommes torturés et la femme d'abord courtisée par le dignitaire nazi, puis destinée à devenir sujet d'expérience. C'est à ce moment-là que le volcan se réveille.
