Dangerous Money (1946)


Monogram Pictures
Directed by Terry O. Morse
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, Warner Bros.)

Charlie Chan is on an oriental cruise when a man standing right next to him is killed by a knife thrower. Chan methodically questions most of the people on board, while amateurs Number One Son Jimmy and assistant Chattanooga Brown attempt to uncover clues. Most of the time is spent on static ship-board sets, or in a tropical Samoan restaurant. The solution to the mystery is rather far-fetched and unsatisfying.
