Curiosidades
This was the final film for Anna May Wong before her career was reduced to only two features, both for a poverty row studio, during the war years. It would be the end of the decade before she would appear in another feature film.

Lois Ling: I refuse to answer that.
Inspector Richard Queen: Young lady, you're not in much of a position to refuse to answer anything.

Followed by A Sombra da Morte (1941)

In between being bested of the leading lady in numerous comedies, Ralph Bellamy played Ellery Queen in the second of four mysteries for Columbia. It's a nicely tangled murder. Noel Madison has been asked by the Chinese government to bring some gems to New York to be auctioned for poor relief. When he turns up dead in a trunk, with the jewels missing, there are plenty of people to suspect, and plenty of talent on view, including Margaret Lindsay as girlfriend/secretary Nikki Porter, Charley Grapewin as Inspector Queen, Anna May Wong, Charles Lane, Mantan Moreland, Theodore von Eltz... lots of familiar faces for fans of old movies.

Director James Hogan directs efficiently with no particular flair, but with his fine company, it's an enjoyable trifle and mystery fans should have no issue with the rules of the game.
