Charlie Chan In Honolulu
Charlie’s called to solve a murder aboard a freighter headed to sea. Upon arrival, he orders the ship held at anchor, detaining its passengers several days until the crime is solved and discovers two of his sons attempting to hone their crime-solving skills. Further complicating matters, $300,000 has been stolen, another person is murdered, and the Captain of the liner is putting pressure on the Honolulu Police Department to let him take the ship out of the harbor and get on its way before the shipping company loses too much money.
Charlie Chan In Reno
Mary Whitman has gone to the divorce mecca, Reno, to obtain a divorce. While there, she is arrested on suspicion of murdering a fellow guest at her hotel. Confusing matters, many others at the hotel wanted the victim out of the way. Charlie comes from his home in Honolulu to solve the murder and determine if Mary is innocent.
Charlie Chan At Treasure Island
Charlie's novelist friend has appeared to have committed suicide, but things are not always as they seem. At the 1939 World’s Fair held at San Francisco Bay's Treasure Island, Charlie investigates the true nature of this crime including digging up information about the mysterious Dr. Zodiac, a phony mystic who blackmails clients.
Charlie Chan In The City Of Darkness
While in Paris for a reunion with friends from World War I, Charlie investigates the murder of a munitions manufacturer who was supplying arms to the enemy. At the end Charlie preaches to us about the dangers of peace conferences.
