...Joey Giardello: a unanimous 15-round decision over Rubin ("Hurricane") Carter, 27, in a middleweight championship fight at Philadelphia's Convention Hall. Carter's looks (shaved head, drooping Fu Manchu moustache) and ring credentials (a one-round knockout of Welterweight King Emile Griffith) were impressive enough to make him the betting favorite at 11-10. But they hardly awed Champion Giardello, 34, who was fighting his 127th professional bout. Counterpunching craftily, scoring heavily with short, chopping hooks, Giardello won a lopsided victory, to the delight of 6,000 home-town fans...
After comparing orthodontic appliances, the two racket around Manhattan improvising absurd fantasies derived from Little Women and Fu Manchu. In Central Park they pretend to be "two beautiful white nurses" besieged by Chinese bandits. Merrie pokes a wad of bubble gum into Tippy's mouth. Poison.

Ward Nurse Ratched (Joan Tetzel) is a kind of female Fu Manchu with incredibly sweeping authority. If a patient steps out of line, she punishes him with electric shock treatments...
...David Niven, the British ambassador to Peking, is throwing a diplomatic ball to celebrate Queen Victoria's birthday. The music stops, and there is a shiver of terror: a brocaded sedan chair brings Prince Tuan, complete with jeweled-gold fingernail scabbards and about as welcome as Dr. Fu Manchu at a meeting of the A.M.A. Prince Tuan (ex-dancer Robert Helpmann) is the leader of the "Fists of Righteousness" (known as Boxers in the occidental press), those marauding rebels who are going about the provinces killing Western women, children and priests in a fanatical effort to rid China...
