Plot

Hired to deliver a valuable necklace for Sally Jordon (Virginia Hammond), a wealthy Honolulu resident for whom Charlie Chan (Warner Oland) had worked as a houseboy decades earlier, the detective shows up at the desert ranch estate of P.J. Madden (Paul Harvey), posing as a servant. In his servant guise, Charlie monitors the comings and goings of a number of suspects as it becomes apparent that a murder has taken place at the Madden estate. [4]
