    Where to Watch

Charlie Chan (Sidney Toler) tries to smash an insurance racket and nab a killer. Mantan Moreland, Victor Sen Yung. Mary: Tanis Chandler. Jeff: John Gallaudet. Jack: Bruce Kellogg. Mike: Paul Bryar. Cosgrove: Jack Norton. Terry Morse directed.

San Francisco's Chinatown serves as the setting for this Chan outing in which Toler investigates murders related to insurance fraud. Chandler plays a girl who assists Toler in freeing her fiance from gangsters. The action is kept at an even pace, and a moderate amount of suspense is maintained. Of course, Moreland and Young are around for their support and to provide the laughs.
