'Tih Minh' is a 1918 French film serial directed by Louis Feuillade.
Plot
'Tih Minh' tells the story of Jacques d'Athys who returns to his home in Nice after an expedition to Indochina. Tih Minh (Mary Harald), a young woman from Laos, accompanies him.
Athys and his servant, Placide, soon become involved with an international band of jewel thieves-cum-spies that include among its members a mysterious noble person, a hypnotist and an evil doctor who renders their victims amnesiacs.
Unknown to Athys, he has returned to France with a book that contains a coded message revealing the location of treasure and sensitive government intelligence. This makes him and Tih Minh the target of the spies who will stop at nothing to obtain the book.

Reception
'Tih Minh' was edited and released in 1920 in the United States under the title 'In the Clutches of the Hindu'. However, when compared to American film serials, its European-style pace of action was considered to be slow, and it would be the last European serial to be distributed in the American film serial format.
