Goofs
Late in the movie, during his interrogation of all known suspects, Charlie is handed a crucial bit of photographic evidence printed off the 'teletype' machine. However he is actually given a sharp glossy photo hand developed from a photo-lab darkroom. A teletype image would be of crude quality and printed on thin paper with punched holes.

Connections
Followed by Charlie Chan and the Curse of the Dragon Queen (1981)

Misguided effort to revive the Chan series.

This TV movie from the early 70's was a misguided effort to revive the Charlie Chan film series. It fails on every count. It is needlessly complicated. And it is dated in a tacky, rather than nostalgic, way--unlike the classic Chans from the 30's and early 40's, which hold up. Don't waste your time unless you are an absolute Chan fanatic. Your time would be better spent watching "Charlie Chan at Treasure Island" or "Charlie Chan at the Opera", or any of the Fox Chan films. Even the Monogram Chan films are better than this one!
