Monogram Pictures Corporation was a Hollywood studio that produced and released films, most on low budgets, between 1931 and 1953. Monogram is considered a leader among the smaller studios sometimes referred to collectively as Poverty Row. The principle behind the studio was that when the Monogram logo appeared on the screen, everyone knew they were in for action and adventure.
In 1938 Monogram began a long and profitable policy of making series and hiring familiar players to star in them, such as Boris Karloff and the "Mr. Wong" mysteries. Mr. Wong, Detective is the first film in the series.
