While on a flight to the 1939 World's Exposition on San Francisco's Treasure Island, Honolulu detective Charlie Chan is puzzled by the apparent suicide of a writer, who is trying to expose physic fraud. Chan and Number Two Son Jimmy(Victor Sen Yung)are not in agreement with the ruling of suicide and set out to prove that a mystic named Zodiac is responsible for several murders via suicide. A magician , The Great Rhandini(Cesar Romero), offers help in the investigation. But just how much of his help is useful? This may be one of the best in the Chan mystery franchise. The pace is brisk and held together with light-hearted humor and the usual who-done-it trappings. A very interesting story that you don't really know the ending ahead of time. The supporting cast includes: Douglas Fowley, Pauline Moore, Douglass Dumbrille, Donald MacBride and Gerald Mohr.
