In San Francisco's Chinatown, Tom Lee, a Chinese prince disguised as student, is in love with Lien Wha during unrest between opposing groups of the Chinese community.
According to André Soares' biography on Navarro, Beyond Paradise, "[The star] earned only scant good notices when [''The Son-Daughter''] opened on December 23, 1932"; and despite Navarro's leading man status in Hollywood at the time, "The picture itself received overwhelmingly negative reviews".[3]
