THE
JADE MASK-1945-A scientist named Harper (Frank Reicher) has a gas
that can turn wood into metal. Naturally the US government is
interested in it. So are its enemies. Charlie Chan (Sidney Toler) is
called in by a local police chief (Henry Hall) to investigate when
Harper goes missing. There's enough suspects. A loyal but abused
butler Roth (Cyril Delevanti), Harper's assistant Meeker (Hardie
Albright), sister Louise (Edith Evanson), housemaid Jean Kent (Janet
Warren), Stella Graham (Dorothy Granger) who was assisting Harper on
another project and mute handyman/chauffeur Michael Strong (Lester
Dorr). Charlie's later joined by number 4 son Eddie (Edwin Luke; the
real life brother of Keye) and Birmingham Brown (Mantan Moreland),who
actually stops the murderer from escaping. Phil Rosen was back as
director and keeps it moving. THE SCARLET CLUE followed.
Thanks for reading!
