Roland Winters as Inspector Charlie Chan from the Public Domain

Inspector Chan is not as sure particularly after a dead man’s fingerprints are found at the murder scene. The judge sentenced the man to death for his role in a murder. Charlie Chan menar den döde kan ha varit oskyldig.

Roland Winters rankas långt under Warner Oland och Sidney Toler som en film Charlie Chan. Emellertid, Winters ger hans finaste prestation i denna film. Winters is helped by excellent performances from Victor Sen Yung and Mantan Moreland. Sam Newman and Scott Darling also produced an excellent plot for the film.

Denna snäva 65 minuters film är endast tillgänglig på DVD vid denna tid. Setet innehåller fyra Charlie Chan filmer från Pictures Monogram. Även denna film inte kommer att göra någon glömma Öland eller Toler, det är den bästa av de sju Charlie Chan filmerna med Roland Winters.
