    Talk about self sacrifice? Well, renowned sleuth “Moto” (Peter Lorre) has only gone and got himself imprisoned on Devil’s Island so he can make best buddies with felon “Brissac” (Leon Ames) in the hope that he can gain his trust, help him escape and make it back to London where he hopes to be able to identify the ruthless leader of the aptly named “League of Assassins”. Their target is industrialist “Darvak” (Henry Wilcoxon) who has a secret formula that would be of great value should it manage to fall into their hands. Of course,  to keep up his disguise “Moto” also has to stay one step ahead ...
