Synopsis:
Ann Parker and Bob Martin, reporters on the Daily CHronicle, go to Chinatown to get a story on the wedding that is supposed to bring an end to a long-standing feud between warring Chinese Tongs. The theft of a wedding-present necklace starts the feud anew. Ann and Bob are drawn into the dangerous situation but Tarzan, Famous Police Dog, is a vital factor in solving the mystery which results in a final victory over the real criminals and restoration and goodwill between the warring clans.

Reviews:
"Romeo and Juliet in Chinatown certainly makes an unusual background for a dog picture. Even more odd is the fact that the background often becomes the foreground and that more interest is sometimes evoked by the Chinese lovers, Bo Ling and Wing Foo, than by the picture's nominal stars, Marion Shilling and Charles Delaney.

In addition to the two pairs of lovers — and their respective backgrounds — we have a gangster story about an attempt to steal a valuable heirloom necklace and a subsequent double cross.

All this would seem to leave little footage for the dog — especially in view of the director's and photographer's obvious interest in the Chinatown background which is given not only a great deal of play but endowed with an absolutely splendid atmosphere. In fact, the lighting cameraman makes a most effective use of three or four richly detailed sets.

Nonetheless, even with all this competition, "Tarzan" does doggedly come across impressively enough to rate a few cheers, even from my jaundiced throat. As a general rule, I dislike dogs, but for "Tarzan", I'll gladly make an exception."
