A young Englishman abroad, Michael, visits the local low-life spot of Tiger Bay. He intervenes when a local criminal protection racketeer targets a Chinese nightclub, and falls in love with the owner’s young English foster-sister.
Tiger Bay manages to be a briskly entertaining crime drama that is elevated by the performance of Anna May Wong, in one of her few lead roles. She plays Lui Chang, the the owner of a nightclub who is harassed by a gang of toughs... and she is grace under fire through it all.
Tiger Bay here is part of a French colony in South America, not in Cardiff and the film is a strange mixture, with Anna May Wong as a Chinese "dance hall"/restaurant owner with a Lancashire manageress and a waiter who've emigrated from George Formby films, a German-accented gangster, French-accented police and an English hero and love-interest.
