Outlaws of the Orient is a 1937 American adventure film directed by Ernest B. Schoedsack.
Plot
Johnny Eaton, trouble-shooter for an American oil company drilling in China, leaves his bride-to-be to head for the Orient and straighten out problems at the inland concession site his company controls. Chet Eaton, Johnny's brother and in charge of the China operation, is drinking too much, and a local Tartar bandit, Ho-Fing, is raiding and sabotaging the operation after being bribed by a rival company. Johnny bribes him, too, but Ho-Fing is a what-have-you-done-for-me-lately guy and doesn't stay bribed. Johnny decides that hand grenades speak louder than money and have a longer-lasting effect on Oriental bandits.
