What is Charlie Chan’s Secret?

This film begins with that familiar 1930s mystery-sounding music. Then we immediately switch to a diving scene with underwater-type music. Here, Charlie Chan (Warner Oland) is on a boat searching for the missing body of Allen Colby. Allen is the long-missing heir to the family fortune and was on his way back to claim it when he met with an accident. Or was it an accident? Even though the Ouija board said that Allen was dead, we will make one last attempt to contact him through a séance. Will Allen show? If so, can he point out his killer? Only Charlie Chan, with his unique perspective, can make heads or tails of what the secret is all about. Even Charlie has to learn throughout the movie, and we learn with him. This is one of Warner Oland’s best. We learn about radio and quinine, which was once used to treat colds. So, let's sit back and enjoy a spooky spirit house, a handful of spooky people, and a shot in the dark.
