Sidney Toler's first Chan is an enjoyable effort. The murders take place on a ship in a rather drab setting. The closed quarters make for some interesting confrontations and George Zucco gives a fun performance as Dr. Cardigan. The mystery is pretty good and has a great solution. Not bad for Toler's first.
6.6/10
