Fox Produced Interesting Chan
12 April 2019
Warning: Spoilers
Warner Oland was always the best Chan aand Fox studios production makes this one an above average effort. Keye Luke is along as number 1 son, and the plot moves along quickly. The travel is interesting too. Chan goes over his travel plan from Hawaii to Berlin quite throoughly. Chan even rides on the Hidenburg blimp, this film before the blimp went up in flames.

There is another number 2 son who is quite forgettable. It appears Fox uses some olympic footage of Jesse Owens, but to avoid getting Nazi symbols on screen uses another olympics footage too.

The mystery is quite complex, but Chan is up to the challenge. Number 1 son Luke wins a gold medal in the 100 swimming. He also gets kidnapped by the bad guys trying to steal a vital automated pilot after he wins the medal. Chan has to do some pretty good manuevers with the German police to catch them.

Even though this is 2 years before World War 2 would actually start, there are signs here about the propoganda to come.
