Goofs

Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): When Charlie Chan, Jr. enters a room where his father and another officer are, Chan, Jr. says, "Pop, here are some cut-up tea and sandwiches," when what he really means is, "Pop, here are some cut-up sandwiches and tea."

Quotes

Mr. Cartwright: Perhaps we've been a little hasty.
Charlie Chan: Hasty accusation like long shot on horse race. Odds good but chances doubtful.
