Rather low-budget Monogram Charlie Chan vehicle. Not exactly the worse of the series of mysteries; but a long way from being one of the best. Chan(Sidney Toler)is aboard an ocean liner with Number Two son Jimmy(Victor Sen Young)and temporary assistant Chattanooga Brown(Willie Best). A United States Treasury agent informs Chan that attempts on his life have twice failed and that he is undercover trying to recover a large sum of money and valuable artworks stolen from a Philippine bank. The agent ends up with a knife in his back and Chan will need the man's portfolio to garner clues to his murderer and maybe some info that will lead to the stolen artwork. A typical array of suspects to interrogate. Jimmy and Chattanooga are actually helpful when they stumble over the valuable objects in a fish museum. The murderer will be obvious. Other players: Dick Ellliott, Gloria Warren, Rick Vallin, John Harmon and Joseph Crehan.
