    Storyline

    • Trivia
      This is actually the 34th Charlie Chan film. Two were filmed in Spanish, and apparently not often counted in the English run of Charlie Chan films. They are: "Eran Trece or There were Thirteen" (1931) and "La Serpiente Roja or The Red Snake" (1937). The latter was filmed in Cuba.
    • Goofs
      The character played by Cy Kendall is identified as Webster Deacon in dialogue, but George Deacon in a newspaper insert.
    • Quotes

      Tommy Chan: Pop, I've got a case that will knock your hat off!

      Charlie Chan: Can remove hat without assistance, thank you.

    My First Charlie Chan

    I saw this when I was quite young. I hadn't heard of Charlie and his cast of characters --#2 son and Birmingham. They were quite enjoyable. The plot moved at a good pace. I particularly enjoyed the sequence where the bad guys were tracking Tommie and Birmingham in a deserted fun-house. After all these years, I still enjoy it.
