Warner Oland starred as detective Charlie Chan for the twelfth time, with Keye Luke co-starring as Lee, Chan's Number One Son. Although there have been numerous adaptations of the Chinese-Hawaiian sleuth in film and television, the character originally appeared in a series of novels by American author Earl Derr Biggers. Biggers created the astute and benevolent character in response to the harsh stereotypes of Asians during the Yellow Peril era.
