I am left wanting more. And it appears there will be more. Good characters and casting. Good plot. Good cinematography. What more can you want? Oh, did I mention great twists? Most highly recommended.
Other reviewers have covered this film well enough. I watched this on YouTube in order to finish all the the Chan series - still hunting for four more. I agree, one of the better Monogram films. I can't remember Charlie taking it on the chin in other entries, but I may have just forgotten. There are just enough clues for the very astute watcher to figure out the ending, but not all of the details. They are left for the typical "Charlie Chan" ending where all is revealed. Recommended.
You can find the recreation based upon the script and still shots on YouTube. Not the greatest ways to spend an hour, but if you are a Chan fan, and want to finish off all the films ever made, this is your only option. The story appears it would have made a good film but the recreation loses a bit when other actors substitute for the original cast. Glad I watched it. Would have like to have seen the real thing.
