Synopsis for "Defeat the Dragon Curse... or Die!"

When Dr. 13 and Marie Leeds visit their friends Harry and Rosemary in San Francisco during the Chinese New Year, they find that their friends have been killed. When the Phantom Stranger appears, he suggests that it is the curse of Ching Hi Fu. The Phantom Stranger works to capture the culprit, a man worshiping Ching Hi Fu, who has been trying to destroy modern buildings which he believes are an effrontery to his Chinese heritage.
