Mystery of the missing Charlie Chan


Crime amongst the merchants of 'Frisco Chinatown ... where is Charlie Chan in this potboiler? Instead we have Dracula playing a Eurasian Svengali hellbent on financial aggrandisement whilst exacting revenge on both the European & Chinese races. Standing in his way only is a minor ex-Tarzan (Brix) & a society page reporter. Chinese butler Willy, their companion, provides the fortune cookie wiseman sayings along their travels. Shockingly wooden acting especially from Walters & Barclay.
