Clues revealed after off-screen investigation like late night yapping dog. Very annoying!
I’d of rated it higher but important clues revealed AFTER the culprit is caught is a really annoying trope.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A breezy Charlie Chan mystery that tangles murder, poison gas, and plastic surgery into an entertaining puzzle. The charm lies in following Chan's methodical deductions through a maze of red herrings and New York society intrigue.
