00:12:11This is the police department. Where's Captain Kong's cabin?
00:12:14In the passenger, to the left.
00:12:16All right.
00:12:30Come in.
00:12:34Captain Kong?
00:12:36Yes, I'm Sergeant Davidson of the San Francisco Police.
00:12:39This is Mr. Charlie Chan.
00:12:41How do you do? I've heard of you, Mr. Chan.
00:12:43Flattered and overwhelmed.
00:12:45Won't you sit down?
00:12:51We're investigating the murder of a recent passenger of yours.
00:12:55So?
00:12:56Princess Mei Ling.
00:12:58The princess?
00:13:00Murdered?
00:13:01Yeah.
00:13:02I must cable her brother at once.
00:13:05Question, please.
00:13:07Who is his brother or princess?
00:13:09He is Field Marshal Chang She.
00:13:11Have you any idea what the princess was doing in this country?
00:13:14I imagine sightseeing.
00:13:16This was her first time in America.
00:13:19She was educated in Europe.
00:13:21Could any of your passengers have done it?
00:13:23I hardly think so.
00:13:26There were just a few.
00:13:28We have little accommodations.
00:13:30No.
00:13:31No one I can think of.
00:13:33Well, can you think of anything else that might help us, Captain Kong?
00:13:36I'm afraid not.
00:13:38Well, as a matter of record, I'd like to have a copy of your passenger list and crew.
00:13:41Certainly. That'll be easy. I have it here.
00:13:47Pardon, Captain Kelso.
00:13:59Thanks very much, Captain Kong.
00:14:01Not at all.
00:14:03Begging pardon to interrupt, but the ship very heavily guarded, no?
00:14:08Just natural precautions.
00:14:10We're loading valuable cargo for Orient.
00:14:12Oh, yes, of course.
00:14:14Thank you so much.
00:14:34Polite old devil, isn't he?
00:14:36Yes.
00:14:37My little father once said,
00:14:39Politeness, golden key to many doors.
00:14:42Well, I guess our next step is the princess' apartment.
00:14:44Yes.
00:15:03Who were they?
00:15:18The police.
00:15:20Isn't one of them a Chinese?
00:15:22Yes, Charlie Chan, my detective.
00:15:34What did they want?
00:15:36You ought to know.
00:15:38What do you mean?
00:15:39Why did you kill her, Kelso?
00:15:41Kill her? What are you talking about?
00:15:44I suppose you don't know the princess has been murdered.
00:15:47Murdered?
00:15:49Yes. Why did you do it?
00:15:51You're crazy.
00:15:53I don't know anything about it.
00:15:54I haven't even seen the princess since yesterday afternoon.
00:15:58Did you get her check?
00:15:59Yes.
00:16:00How much?
00:16:01$250,000.
00:16:02How about my share?
00:16:03Well...
00:16:04Look here, Kelso.
00:16:05She chartered this boat to carry airplanes.
00:16:08I put her in contact with you.
00:16:10Told her that you had flown with her brother in China.
00:16:12I planned this whole deal.
00:16:14I know, I know.
00:16:15You'll get your share.
00:16:17Where's the money?
00:16:18It's in the bank.
00:16:19I'll see you at the bank in the morning.
00:16:22All right.
00:16:23Very clever.
00:16:24Killing princess.
00:16:26Yes.
00:16:28Very clever killing princess, Kong.
00:16:31No witnesses around to prove the airplanes had never been delivered.
00:16:35Or where the money went.
00:16:37You're pretty clever, Kong.
00:16:39Good night.
00:16:41I'll still see you at the bank at 10.
00:16:44Be there.
00:16:46I'll be there.

00:18:01I'll be there.
00:18:31I'll be there.
00:19:01Say, uh, what room is Princess Meiling?
00:19:20Next floor, front.
00:19:21Room 26.
00:19:31This is it.
00:19:44It's open.
00:19:57Uh-huh.
00:20:04Afraid too late.
00:20:06Opportunity has flown on rapid wings.
00:20:08Yeah, somebody beat us to it.
00:20:10Perhaps I've overlooked something important.
00:20:19What's that?
00:20:20Traveler's checks.
00:20:21Exchange Specie Bank of Peking.
00:20:25Several thousand dollars.
00:20:36Peggy.

00:20:49Come on, kid, what's the matter?
00:20:51Peggy.
00:20:54Did you get him?
00:20:55Get who?
00:20:56Well, the man.
00:20:57The man that was ransacking the desk.
00:20:59What'd the guy look like?
00:21:00He was masked.
00:21:02As a murderer.
00:21:03Can you tell me what he looked like?
00:21:05He had an overcoat and a black hat.
00:21:07Oh, swell.
00:21:09How'd you get out of Chan's house?
00:21:11I asked Tommy for a cigarette and he didn't have any.
00:21:14So he went out to get one.
00:21:15And?
00:21:17Afraid unfortunate number two son not chip off ancient pluck.
00:21:21How did you get into this apartment?
00:21:23I found the key in the princess's purse.
00:21:27Seems Miss Cartwright inevitable decoration to scene.
00:21:31Yeah, and it was probably an antique, too.
00:21:33Oh, yes.
00:21:34Excellent rosewood.
00:21:35Many centuries old.
00:21:37Oh, Mr. Chan, I'm awfully sorry, but I had to get this story.

00:21:43Say, get this thing off of me.

00:26:14son now perhaps can forgive for letting girl newspaper man escape.
00:26:22Yes very well goodbye Mr Chan I got
00:26:26a big job waiting good desire to go downtown to. Exchange species bank
00:26:32on Market Street yes we are practically there.
00:26:40As soon as I saw the news of the murder in the morning papers I decided to
00:26:44communicate with the police I want to thank you for saving me that trouble Mr
00:26:49Chan. Police already aware of bank connection with Princess money
00:26:56affairs I'm not referring to those travelers checks there's
00:26:59a much more important matter when she arrived here she carried with her
00:27:03a draft on the home bank in China for
00:27:06a million dollars and what's highly significant she's cashed almost the entire
00:27:11amount first cashier's check for
00:27:15a hundred thousand dollars then odd amounts almost daily until she's only I think
00:27:20around thirty seven thousand dollars left. Happen to know to whom first check was
00:27:27drawn yes it was cashed by
00:27:30a captain Kelso who identified himself as the San Francisco representative of the
00:27:35Kelso Aviation Company of Los Angeles I've kept things in my private file owing to
00:27:40the peculiar nature of the account.
00:27:45Of. Yes here's the Kelso check.
00:27:53Yes. Captain Kelso. Captain
00:28:00K. Offices in Brunson building on Broad Street yes I
00:28:07understand it is and these are the various acknowledgments signed by the princess in
00:28:13Chinese of course for the other amount she's withdrawn. Tell me you happen to
00:28:20have original draft presented by princess Oh yes here it is.
00:28:29Yet also bears her signature in Chinese I have taken these out of the records of
00:28:34the bank and the expectation of turning them over to the police Oh yes of course
00:28:39we'll see that they get to proper party do not know with whom princess was dealing
00:28:47nothing she ever said would indicate that she was engaged in negotiations of any
00:28:51sort but I could guess the princess was hardly sightseeing.
00:28:59Perhaps this Captain Kelso can give you some information yes perhaps you will of
00:29:06course see that those papers are returned to the bank Oh yes yes we'll do. Thank you
00:29:14so much not at all.
00:29:36The. Thing to report
00:29:44after so no Mr Chan everything's been quiet as
00:29:46a mouse. Made
00:29:58go out no she hasn't left the apartment.
00:30:06And.
00:30:07She's.
00:30:07The.
00:30:31Miss Chen.
00:30:37I'm.
00:31:08Go tell Officer called Sergeant Davidson Yes I sure will and if you don't mind I
00:31:13think I'll keep on going but I think I left something in the car. Yes this place
00:31:19for a man with an easy stomach use it.
00:31:28Oh. In that made that she. Miss Chan what you.
00:31:37Yes Mr Chan you right may not go out.
00:32:08The.
00:32:16The.
00:32:23The.
00:32:29The.
00:32:37The.
00:32:39The.
00:32:40The.
00:32:41The.
00:33:06Death was probably instantaneous he went just as fast as our friend the princess
00:33:09and by the same route. Yes I think so I think that's the way it came in John Oh
00:33:16yes only other entrance to apartment let's go up on the roof was there already any
00:33:22trace of anyone know nothing except footsteps of a little Chinese boy let's see
00:33:27if he's around he live in basement this is
00:33:30a screw his case I've ever been on up against
00:33:33a stone wall. You know many times in past Charlie Chan find himself in the exact
00:33:40same locality. Let's go look the kid up yes.
00:34:03The store.
00:34:16And I think a little guy's double crossed us all maybe frame the princess.
00:34:23Hardly think so I got a little guy can talk. I think that dumb stuff just
00:34:29OK.
00:34:48Such. A.
00:34:51Oh.
00:34:57I look like the kid did it think so well as your arrival would have been easy for
00:35:02him to hide outside your window he knocked off the princess and the maid now he's
00:35:07blown but he is friend of princess probably moved in here so I could watch it let us
00:35:12start at commencement first princess come here to buy airplanes fighter planes must
00:35:18be smuggled out of country diplomatic reasons sure to be shipped on a Shanghai made
00:35:23could be so let's go down a search that's a good idea but you go down personally
00:35:29trying to pursue other line of investigation.
00:35:49And.
00:35:57I have keen desire to see Captain get your name please Charlie just
00:36:03a moment.
00:36:04There. And
00:36:15yes. Send him in in just a moment I'll I'll go to yes.

00:36:59an honor. I knew you'd get around to me sooner or later. Just
00:37:05a down thank. I've been anticipating an interview ever since I read that the
00:37:10princess had been murdered contradiction please anticipate we trace check from
00:37:15princess Well you see I've been engaged in some rather delicate negotiations with
00:37:20the princess assume negotiating sale of airplanes Yes it's quite natural she should
00:37:25come to me her brother Sean C.
00:37:27Was one of the best friends I ever had Yes of course. Do you know Captain that
00:37:33princess have withdrawn large sums of money from exchange species
00:37:39Bank of Peking of which no trace found no.
00:37:46She was supposed to make
00:37:47a second payment to me at the end of the week. Have no idea who might have
00:37:52planned murder Well that's hard to say however you know the cause of Shang
00:37:57C.
00:37:58Has many enemies have you any clues to work on well. Before she died
00:38:05princess scribble on pad on my desk Captain K.
00:38:13Captain K.
00:38:14Yes could possibly be Captain care so well I cannot tell me why she write your
00:38:20name no. No. I wish I could. I'm utterly bewildered
00:38:27yes. I don't have to tell you Mr Chan this situation is distinctly embarrassing
00:38:35I've made a great many commitments and put it bluntly I'm left holding the bag Oh
00:38:41very sorry but unless Charlie Chan have exceedingly good fortune may find self in
00:38:47very same predicament Thank you so much I'm glad to be of help.
00:38:59Just a minute this guy right he's on the telephone really anyone I know.
00:39:05I tell them it's for Charlie Chan it's very important and tell him we want it
00:39:09right away never mind that's all I'll talk to you later. What important information
00:39:14did Mr Chan want why do you keep busting into my office like you're on the joint
00:39:18look here Bill Davis and don't get tough with me I might know more than you think
00:39:22I know I've been tailing Charlie all day and I think you give him some protection
00:39:26that man's in danger Listen Peggy you holding out on me do you know something
00:39:29that I don't know that wouldn't take much brains. Take that.
00:39:35Take that. Oh so you play do you.
00:39:59Now tell me what information did Mr Chan want that you'll never know it's what
00:40:04I said why don't they just don't you walk out on me.
00:40:34You.
00:41:05You.
00:41:11Hi Barry I'm a good even Sergeant Sergeant did you find out who was popping
00:41:16them Chinese ladies off with
00:41:17a pop gun not yet but if I were you I'd watch my step you're next on the list I
00:41:22think you know too much not me I'm wearing a bulletproof vest. You know. Not
00:41:29necessary for Birmingham to tap skull to prove head is empty that's right.
00:41:36I got the report from Los Angeles on the Kelso Aviation Company it's a phony we
00:41:42progress come in must thank number two son for this information he was the one
00:41:48to find out that princess by plane address was an old hangar in Burbank hasn't
00:41:53been used for years. Very strange.
00:42:00Representative of company is supposed to be in big business deal with princess
00:42:05much money involved. Too many questions that don't have any answers why should
00:42:11the princess be murdered what was the motive what she do with all that dough why
00:42:16did she come here to see you and who followed her why should the maid be killed
00:42:20. Many questions arise all in good time we get answers and what happened to that
00:42:27little Chinese boy I'd like to get my hands on him I'd make him talk no trace
00:42:35not a sign we've been through Chinatown with
00:42:38a fine tooth comb we've watched the railroad stations the bus stations the air
00:42:44terminal little guys vanished. Not going to hide forever.
00:42:52The best men in the department out to try some. You know little guys the answer to
00:42:56a lot. Do not be too certain. Many time in the past it has happened Charlie
00:43:04Chan Horsley barking up incorrect tree. Well I'm going to shove off and get a
00:43:11little shot I'll call you if anything happens good please to do that.
00:43:16I.
00:43:37Can watch them dogs they'll chew you into
00:43:39a mess of your company. Do not worry I'm number one student in school of
00:43:44discretion.

00:52:42time let us go.

00:55:02hotel.
00:55:08Hello yes Sergeant Davidson.
00:55:13Room for sixty one.
00:55:17It was occupied by Captain Kong of the Shanghai made.
00:55:23He checked out this afternoon.
00:55:25Boat sails at midnight all right thank you.
00:55:30He belonged to the captain of the boat the princess arrived on maybe that's our answer.

00:56:39Oh.
00:56:55Hello.
00:56:57Yes Birmingham.
00:56:59What I'm down here by myself Mr Chan has made his departure to parts unknown but he
00:57:05had a date to meet Davidson at Armstrong's he left the house all right but I don't think
00:57:09it was on his own accord absolutely.
00:57:13You better hurry up and come down here to pier fifty six because I'm dubious about
00:57:17handling this thing alone OK.
00:57:21Back.
00:57:22Back.
00:57:35Sorry for this slight inconvenience gentlemen but necessity knows no law.
00:57:40Mr Armstrong you will be given an opportunity of explaining what happened to the rest of
00:57:44that money.
00:57:46And Mr Chan when we're all about a hundred miles out to sea you'll be given an opportunity
00:57:51to swim back to San Francisco.
00:57:54Not very funny.
00:58:15Was kind of gone up on bridge.
00:58:21And.
00:58:27Listen could you wait here I'm going to find out what this is all about now look
00:58:29Bill I want to wait here.
00:58:43Sergeant Davidson.
00:58:46Captain Kong.
00:58:48You recognize that key.
00:58:52Naturally.
00:58:54It is to the room I had at the palace hotel where did you find it in the home of the
00:58:58manager of the specie bank Oh that was where I dropped it you called on Armstrong Yes
00:59:04this afternoon I firmed as a great deal of business through his bank I went there to
00:59:09have some papers signed.
00:59:18Seems to be a little trouble over there.
00:59:21Trouble.
00:59:23The front door was open the house was empty and the dogs were dead so.
00:59:30What time were you there.
00:59:34About a half hour ago.
00:59:37Oh let me see I was there about five o'clock Mr Armstrong signed some bills of
00:59:44lading we had a bourbon and soda and I left.
00:59:48Oh.
00:59:50You consider the fact that my key was found there might be important Mr policeman I
00:59:56was supposed to have met Mr Chan there both Chan and Armstrong have disappeared I'm
01:00:02afraid I can be of no assistance to you.
01:00:08I'll take this.
01:00:10I may need it.
01:00:15Oh.
01:00:29Where is it we don't show you it's right over here.
01:00:45Oh.
01:00:53That's you.

01:01:00Right behind you.

01:01:38Oh nothing at all Mr Chan.
01:01:41Now to get out of here.
01:01:47Mr Chan is probably out on a private investigation of his own.
01:01:50Yeah well I hope you're right this time I'm not so sure.
01:01:52Let go of me.
01:01:53Take your hands off me.
01:01:54Let me out of this cabin.
01:01:55Help.
01:01:56Bill.
01:01:57Bill.
01:01:58Bill.
01:02:15OK boys check this guy.
01:02:16All right.
01:02:21Hey.
01:02:22Becky who's that guy?
01:02:23That's Captain Castle.
01:02:24Chan called on him this afternoon.
01:02:25Castle huh?
01:02:26Maybe you can answer some questions.
01:02:28Mac, Charlie, take the both of them into the captain's cabin.
01:02:31You go up on the bridge and tell the officer there
01:02:32the police are in charge.
01:02:34Why'd you run into him?
01:02:35He was coming up from the hatch.
01:02:36He grabbed me as soon as he saw me.
01:02:37I want to start there.
01:02:38Come on, boys, I want to go through this tub
01:02:40with a fine-toothed comb.
01:02:47Flanagan, you go forward.
01:02:48Alan, you take that side of the ship.
01:02:53Chan!
01:02:57What happened to you?
01:02:58We kidnapped.
01:03:00Kidnapped?
01:03:01Yes, from my own home.
01:03:02Well, if we can't make the murder charge stick,
01:03:04we got them there.
01:03:05Oh, you have got them.
01:03:07Yeah, Kelso and Kong.
01:03:08They almost had me fooled for a while.
01:03:10Arrived in nick of time, Sergeant.
01:03:12Much later, and Charlie Chan destined for a very long swim.
01:03:15Yeah, well, with a little luck, we got enough on them
01:03:17to send them to San Quentin for life.
01:03:19You know, Confucius say,
01:03:20luck, happy chain of foolish accidents.
01:03:24Come on, they're in Kong's cabin.
01:03:26Yes.
01:03:39There's our murderer.
01:03:40We got enough on the other guy to hang him too.
01:03:43Kelso and Kong, I arrest you for the murder
01:03:45of Princess Mei Ling and her maid, Lily Mei Wong.
01:03:47No.
01:03:48We are interfering with regret, but this not so.
01:03:53Captain Kelso and Captain Kong not murder Princess.
01:03:56What?
01:03:57Again, regretfully interfering.
01:04:00Here is murderer.
01:04:05Why, that's preposterous.
01:04:07Examine us in bank for several days.
01:04:10Discover misappropriation of funds.
01:04:14Also, on my tip, discover systematic manipulation
01:04:18of money of Princess.
01:04:21Mr. Armstrong, a very clever man, gentlemen.
01:04:25As soon as he find out that Captain Kelso
01:04:28and Captain Kong were swindling Princess,
01:04:31he make plan to steal rest of money.
01:04:34Princess, only one who can testify
01:04:38that Captain Kelso have not yet received all of money.
01:04:41So Mr. Armstrong killed her,
01:04:44feeling sure crime would be pinned on Captain Kelso.
01:04:50Then, with mask on, Mr. Armstrong stole necessary papers,
01:04:56later forged from apartment of Princess,
01:04:59where he was disturbed by...
01:05:03Where is Miss Cartwright?
01:05:05I will get your ten, she's phoning her paper.
01:05:08No bet, sure thing.
01:05:11Yeah, that's it, Mac.
01:05:12Phone you the rest of it as soon as I get it.
01:05:14Okay, bye.
01:05:16While he was at apartment, he was seen by Chinese boy.
01:05:20This very dangerous, so he came back after him,
01:05:23where in turn was disturbed by maid.
01:05:26He killed maid and carried off Chinese boy,
01:05:30who was later strangled.
01:05:32Oh no, the little guy's not dead too.
01:05:35Again, regretfully contradicting,
01:05:38but Mr. Armstrong tell me that he buried body
01:05:41of vicious dog in pet cemetery.
01:05:44That's right, I did.
01:05:47I opened grave early this evening.
01:05:52Box contained body of Chinese boy.
01:05:55Your story of vicious dog, clever fabrication, Mr. Armstrong.
01:06:00Only happen all your dogs vicious.
01:06:07There you are, Sergeant.
01:06:09All right, get him out of here.
01:06:17Say, why are you arresting Armstrong?
01:06:20Because he murdered the princess, her maid,
01:06:23and a little Chinese boy.
01:06:25Holy Cathy, you're a real fool.
01:06:28You're a fool, I'm a fool.
01:06:30You're a fool, I'm a fool.
01:06:32You're a fool, I'm a fool.
01:06:34You're a fool, I'm a fool.
01:06:36This is the devil's happening,
01:06:38but you didn't kill that Chinese boy.
01:06:41Holy Cathy, I just called the paper
01:06:43and said that Kong and Kelso did it.
01:06:45They'll have an X-ray on the streets any minute now.
01:06:47Well, that's your tough luck.
01:06:51You know, a woman not made for heavy thinking,
01:06:54but should always decorate scene like blossom of plum.
01:06:59Well pop, I guess that winds that up.
01:07:01It's a good thing I found out about those airplanes,
01:07:04that tipped the whole thing off.
01:07:05And if I hadn't have followed you to boat...
01:07:07Look here, if I hadn't bumped into Kelso, you'd all be out to sea by now.
01:07:10You know, a very funny thing, but seems somehow...
01:07:14...Charlie Chan never find out anything.
01:07:18However, man who ride on merry-go-round...
01:07:22...all the time, sooner or later...
01:07:25...must catch...
01:07:26...grass ring.
