This multi-titled film is part comedy, part propaganda. It is probably a bit strong to call it a romantic comedy because the romancing is strictly one-sided, and the damsel is actually a married woman.
It starts with a robbery turned murder in public, and while the police are out looking for the bad guys, who have been clearly identified, a taxi driver drives up to police headquarters and nonchalantly hands them over trussed up like chickens. This leads to both instant fame and to a Chinese humanitarian outfit recruiting him to lead an aid convoy into dangerous territory.
There are roadblocks rather than adventures on the way, until the final scene which is where the propaganda is at its most obvious. Difficult to believe this was made during the Second World War. And even more difficult to believe that America and China were once allies.
