In this Charlie Chan entry, Warner Oland plays the title role, assisted by Keye Luke as son Lee. In an important race, jockey Frankie Darro is involved in throwing a race for a gambling ring. George Irving calls in Charlie to investigate, but then he is conveniently killed by a horse, or at least it appears that way. However, Charlie proves that it was done by an instrument simulating a horse's hoof. Mysterious threatening notes keep showing up threatening the life of the horse. Then Charlie discovers that a gun is placed in the photoelectric gun used for photos at different spots in the race.
