Charlie Chan (Sidney Toler) confronts spies and con men in Paris. Marie: Lynn Bari. Tony: Richard Clarke. Marcel: Harold Huber. Charlotte: Dorothy Tree. Louis: Leo Carroll. Petroff: Douglass Dumbrille. Pierre: Lon Chaney Jr.

Toler travels to Paris to participate in a reunion with WW I buddies. There he becomes involved in investigating the murder of munitions manufacturer Dumbrille, who was supplying arms to the enemy. This Chan mystery was done as a knee-jerk response to the Munich crisis of 1938 and Toler preaches against the evils of conference table bargaining at the end of the film.
