Fui Onyui was a Chinatown gang boss and enemy of Slam Bradley.

In the 1930s in Cleveland, Ohio, gang boss Fui Onyui ruled the underworld of Chinatown. During a routine kidnapping, he had the bad luck to encounter private detective Slam Bradley, and his new partner Shorty Morgan, thus ended up in jail.[1]

Several months later, Fui Onyui escaped from prison, moved to New York City, and sought revenge. He kidnapped Shorty Morgan and put him in a state of suspended animation. Slam Bradley was forced to bargain with the untrustworthy old gangster, to save Shorty's life. Fui ordered Bradley to murder a local judge, and Bradley seemed to play along at first, but with the help of Chinese detective Yat Sin, Slam was able to double-cross Fui, and Shorty was revived. Fui then attempted to murder Bradley, and Yat Sin stopped him by killing him.[2]
