Docks of New Orleans (1948)

Roland Winter is Charlie Chan, with old reliable Birmingham Brown (Mantan Moreland) and Victor Sen Yung as son Tommy along to "help." (With said help it is a wonder he solves any cases.) The case involves a stolen shipment of chemicals, and a unique method of committing murder. Virginia Dale (famous as Fred Astaire's dancing partner in Holiday Inn) is along as the niece of a slain industrialist.

HERE is a link to a nice blog about Dale.
