Charlie Chan in the Secret Service
The screen's most daring sleuth!
A lighthearted 1940s mystery-comedy where a clever detective and his bumbling family solve a wartime murder, balancing wit with warmth.
Charlie Chan is an agent of the US government working in Washington DC and he is assigned to investigate the murder of the inventor of a highly advanced torpedo. Aiding Chan is his overeager but dull-witted son Tommy and his daughter Iris.
