The Fungi Cellars(1923)

The Fungi Cellars is a silent-era adventure film following the sinister Fu-Manchu and his plot to destroy his enemies. When the villain's enslaved servant Karamaneh leads detectives Nayland Smith and Dr. Petrie into his underground lair, they become trapped by one of his elaborate death traps. Helpless and bound, they watch as Fu-Manchu poisons a group of police officers with deadly fungal spores in a sealed vault below. With the Devil Doctor's schemes escalating toward catastrophe, Smith and Petrie must find a way to break free and stop the madman before more lives are lost. This atmospheric thriller captures the pulp-adventure spirit of early cinema, pitting heroic investigators against an ingenious criminal mastermind in a race against time.
