"The Trap" (Charlie Chan) - 1947

Sidney Toler is Charlie. He solves some murders at a Malibu beach house stocked to the gills with young actresses. They are there for a vacation from their stage performances. One of the girls is a conceited prima dona and is the cause of the tension.

Victor Sen Yung is son Jimmy. Barbara Jean Wong plays San Toy, his romantic interest. Mantan Moreland as Birmingham Brown provides the comic relief. Standard Charlie Chan fare. This entry gave several minor starlets a shot at the big screen in a plot that did not particularly challenge their acting ability.
