The Jade Mask (1945)


Monogram Pictures
Directed by Phil Rosen
My rating: 1.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, MGM)

Static Charlie Chan entry that takes place entirely within a few rooms of one house. A mad scientist type is killed for his experimental gas formula. The suspects include his family and house servants. Chan, Number Four Son Edward and manservant Birmingham stumble around after clues. The resolution is as ridiculous as it is improbable.
