In between being the iconic Frankenstein from the 30's and being the older icon in Roger Corman's Edgar Allen Poe movies and doing voice-over on cartoons Boris Karloff shot four Mexican horror flicks which are really only remembered today as curiosity pieces. This one came out of Mexico even before those and isn't even a horror film at all. It's got Karloff as a drug-smuggling. murdering, criminal-type and it's pretty dull. There's an annoying little Mexican girl who gets kidnapped and cries a lot and a boring detective story. Very slow-moving and skip-able unless you absolutely need to see everything Karloff was ever in. AKA THE MONSTER OF THE ISLAND
You can find this on lots of cheap-o DVD horror sets and Youtube:
