THE HATCHET MAN.

Wong Low Get (Edward G. Robinson) is the most respected hatchet man of his Tong. Having sworn total allegiance, he cannot turn down an order to kill his best friend Sun Yat Ming. His friend forgives him in advance of his execution, begging only that Wong raise his daughter Toya San (Loretta Young) as his own. She marries him out of a sense of obligation, but a handsome younger gangster, Harry En Hai, gets her to leave Wong.
