Warner Oland Bela Lugosi Sally Eilers
The unsolved murder of a Hollywood actor several years earlier and an enigmatic psychic are the keys to help Charlie solve the Honolulu stabbing death of a beautiful actress.
In the novel the incompetent assistant was a Caucasian police officer.
An unusual role for Bela Lugosi
Tried to buy a pack of Camels today....Race Track in Covington didn’t have them!s/
I’ve been calling her “Bela Pelosi” for so long that the actor’s real name looks strange in print. :)
Wow! Thanks for posting. I thought I had seen all the Charlie Chan movies, but this one is new to me. (I’m also a Mr. Moto fan)
Thanks again.
All out of Home Runs too?

As a hobby I write fan fiction short stories where two fictional people meet up and collaborate
About three years ago I did one where Nero Wolfe was accused of murder while on a trip to California and hired Perry Mason.
If you are interested the story was called “Blue Orchids” and is here:

Somebody on a Rex Stout fan club page on FB read it and said I should do more of these.
So I am “researching” Charlie Chan books and movies for a short story called, “The Chinaman’s Dilemma” where Charlie Chan’s #2 Daughter Francis is accused of murdering a Taiwanese business man in NYC. Chan has no legal right to investigate in NYC since he is from the Honolulu PD and hires Wolfe to clear his daughter’s name.
Here is a list of all Charlie Chan Movies
