“Best place for skeleton is in family closet.” - Charlie Chan (“Charlie Chan's Secret”)
Our film for this week is “Charlie Chan's Secret,” starring Warner Oland. Charlie Chan comes to the aid of an old friend in San Francisco. His mission is to find out what really has happened to a long-lost heir to the family fortune. Soon, this mission turns into a case of murder against the backdrop of an old, mysterious house with secret passageways and tunnels, seances, and psychic affairs!
