Charlie Chan at Treasure Island (1939)

Charlie Chan's novelist friend, Paul Esse-x (Louis Jean Heydt), receives a telegram saying you cannot escape the zodiac, so he commits suicide. Later, Jimmy Chen points out that if one commits suicide because of blackmail, this is murder. Now Charlie Chan must ferret out a notorious mystic named Zodiac, protecting his friend’s reputation and other potential suicides. He is assisted in this endeavor by his son, Jimmy, a professional magician; Fred Rhadini (Cesar Romero); and newspaper reporter Peter Lewis (Douglas Fowley), among others. This is an excellent movie for Charlie Chan (Sidney Toler) fans. The opening scene of The Clipper was interesting because they didn't have one going that way at that time. One of the things that you notice is that the Clipper has large windows. We also got a great look at the International Expo at "Treasure Island." Another added plus is seeing a young Cesar Romero. A wholesome bevy of actors from that time made this a double-plus good movie.
