I always enjoy the byplay between Charlie Chan and his kids. Warner Oland was more loving to them in the early Chans while Sidney Toler was more insulting (but not in a mean-spirited way.)
In this episode, Oland lets Keye Luke get very involved in the case and Luke provides a number of laughs along the way.
This was an interesting script and had a decent number of action scenes along with it during the 70 minutes. There are some inventive twists to the story, regarding the crooks, too.
This is another Charlie Chan winner, and I am pleased to see it will be out on DVD in December.
