On his return to China, Charlie is honored at a Shanghai banquet for his many accomplishments. Prior to his speech Sir Stanley Woodland, a prominent official in the colony, confides to Charlie that he has discovered some sinister activities and wants to share the information with the detective as soon as they are alone. When Sir Stanley is silenced by a booby-trapped box, Charlie seeks to discover the undivulged secret as well as the killer. Along with Col. Watkins, the police commissioner, and G-Man James Andrews, Charlie works to expose an international opium-smuggling ring operating out of Shanghai. With the help of son Lee, he survives a kidnapping and murder attempt while exposing the identity of the head of the drug ring.

| User ReviewCha tCharlie Chan in __anywhere__ = way too awesome |
| User ReviewRick RPretty good Charlie Chan actioner here as Charlie Chan goes to Shanghai to get back to his roots, but yet all his close detective pals are caucasian and make no attempt to speak any Chinese. Hahaha. All those implausabities aside (and there's a lot of them, hey! Let's go to the cafe Versailles!) there is a fun mystery here, lots of surprises, and yes, No. 1 son runs around making comedy. Lots of fun. |
| User ReviewJames HI really liked the inclusion of Chan's son Lee. With some of the fight scenes (including a leaping tackle off a flight of stairs), he provided a bit of an action hero to go along with Chan's slow-moving detective work. Plus the contrast between the wise father (who speaks more traditionally and with halting English), and the brash son (who is likely a first-generation American and speaks just like a typical teenager of the 40s would)...good stuff. I think this is the best formula for Charlie Chan movies. The mystery, on the other hand wasn't really anything special and I found it disappointing that being in Shanghai he didn't really seem to visit any exotic parts of town. He stayed almost entirely in the upper crust British parts, and you hardly saw any other Chinese people. |
