Thunderbolt investigates a case involving an Oriental tattoo found on an underworld hood, which leads him to discover the existence of the Tongs—Chinese secret societies engaged in blackmail, extortion, and murder. After learning that the Tongs were once powerful but then reformed into a legitimate organization, Thunderbolt infiltrates their lair where he encounters their evil leader conducting a sinister ritual. The villain attempts to eliminate Thunderbolt, but the hero battles his way free and defeats the Tong's malevolent plans.
