charlie chan in the secret service (1944)

aka Charlie Chan in Honolulu.
"Detective without curiosity is like glass eye at keyhole - no good."
Charlie Chan (Sidney Toler) becomes an agent for the U.S. government, and is assigned to investigate the death of an weapons inventor. Whilst number three son Tommy (Benson Fong) and daughter Iris (Marianne Quon) tag along.
The first in the series to feature Mantan Moreland as Birmingham, in this formulaic whodunnit, but one that has some entertaining characters.
