Synopsis by Hal Erickson
The Girl in the Dark is Carmel Myers, who has no idea why a gang of Chinese villains are chasing her. Carmel and her beau Ashton Dearholt undergo several thrilling adventures and deadly close calls before the object of the bad guys' obsession is revealed. It turns out that Carmel is in possession of a seal ring, which contains valuable clues to a hidden treasure. In fine old Hollywood tradition, the main Chinese are played by a Japanese (Frank Tokanaga) and an occidental (Frank Deschon). This was based on The Green Seal, a blood-and-thunder novel by Charles Edmund Walk.
