Eccentic, elderly matron Patience Nodbury has a treasure map she's inherited from Black Hook, her pirate ancestor. To foil a mysterious thief who has tried to steal it, she divides it into four pieces, three of which she gives to fellow passengers booked to sail on the Suva Star, an old wooden sailing ship chartered for a treasure hunt on an offshore island. She is convinced that, according to family tradition, Black Hook will visit her before she dies. When the peg-legged "ghost" does just that, and she suffers a fatal heart attack, Charlie and Jimmy are faced with a boatload of red herrings including Bill Lydig, an escaped convict, Gene LaFarge, a certifiable neurotic accompanied by a personal psychiatrist, and the embittered Captain Kane, who was marooned on a deserted island by his ex-partner and vows revenge.

| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzIt was entertaining to watch all the spookiness aboard the ship. |
| User ReviewKevin RHere's a Chan film I haven't seen too often. It features the high production values of the Fox series and an early appearance of George Reeves (Superman) as a suspected murderer. Enjoy how they light Milton Parsons, the "crazy" guy who is a prime suspect. A bit over the top? Yeah, but still fun. Victor Sen Yung gives one of his better performances as number two son. The thing about Chan films is that you know what you're going to get coming into it. This one delivers as expected. Directed by Harry Lachman who also did "Charlie Chan and the Circus" with Warner Oland and Keye Luke and "Murder Over New York" |
