Showgirls vacationing in Malibu are being strangled. Who to solve the case but Charlie Chan?

Last Chan film starring Toler is also unfortunately one of the worst, sunk by weak direction, shrill performances and a racist overtone (mostly directed at the one Chinese showgirl) that leaves a bad taste in one's mouth. Coupled with the fact that Toler is obviously seriously ill--he died five months after this film's release-- makes this a real waste of film.
