The Shanghai Chest - Charlie Chan (1948)

Roland Winters is Charlie and Victor Sen Yung is Tommy (son #2). Mantan Moreland is on hand as Birmingham Brown, the wonder man. (He wonders how he gets mixed up in these cases.)

Olaf Hytten is in his familiar role as a butler.

This one is a puzzler for Charlie. A supposedly dead man's fingerprints show up at different crime sites.

Willie Best has a brief appearance as a jail inmate, and he and Birmingham get involved in a conversation. Priceless exchange by two of the great black comedians, and two pairs of the most expressive eyes ever seen.

The wife and I dearly love these old Charlie Chan movies!
