I found a short plot synopsis of the film 艳尸复仇记 (1941), which was automatically translated as 'Lady Body's Revenge' but I think the meaning is closer to 'Avenging a Beautiful Dead Woman' when I did a character-by-character translation.
The film has Ziyuan Xu in the cast list, but I can't determine if he is in the role of Charlie Chan.
My rough translation is as follows. It would at least be compatible with the start of a Chan film...
An unemployed young man loves a maid named Liu Lan. In order to win her love, he gets mixed up in some sort of fraudulent scheme with a millionaire's wife, after which Liu Lan is killed. The young man resolves to find out the truth.
