The great detective Charlie Chan meets a wealthy member of the gentry, Guangzhou You, and investigates the riddle of the suicide of his elder brother, Guangcai You, who jumped from a building. Charlie, in the company of daughter Meina, is given broad latitude to investigate, but only at this point begin the real murders of the villains. Charlie suspects the wealthy businessman, Wu Huaide, so dispatches Meina on a secret investigation. Meina tracks Huaide’s female secretary, Dong Lizhu, to the train station, and sees her handing over a leather suitcase to a mysterious man. Charlie and Meina trace this to a wooden shack in the suburbs. Seizing the leather suitcase, they find it full of counterfeit money. To defeat Huaide’s plot, a plan is offered to the police — the backroom of the counterfeit money group secretly protects its leader, so whoever knows the group’s leader can unexpectedly to make first move and get control. To get Huaide to return to the nest of thieves now, Meina gets on Lizhu's trail to follow her back to the criminals’ hideout. She is captured by a henchman and taken into the cellar, but fortunately Charlie arrives in the nick of time. It is disclosed that the primary brain behind the operation is the banking tycoon Jin-Yibai Chuan. However, the police also arrive at the counterfeit money group hideout and catch the whole lot in a dragnet. Yibai Chuan and Huaide die under the bullet.
