Ted B @Movieaddicted Jan 7 2.5 stars. More of a detective story. Charlie Chan and his assistants (son, daughter, and chauffeur, Birmingham) foil bank robbers and capture a mass murderer. The murderer used cobra venom on his victims. I am kind of unsure what the connection is between the murders and the bank robbery. See more Read all reviews
