Charlie Chan's Courage (1934) is the fifth film in which Warner Oland played detective Charlie Chan. It is a remake of the 1927 silent film The Chinese Parrot, based upon the novel by Earl Derr Biggers. Both are considered lost films.[1][2]

An audio recreation accompanied by still photographs from the original film is included as a special feature on some DVD collections.[3]

Plot

[edit]

Hired to deliver a valuable necklace for Sally Jordon (Virginia Hammond), a wealthy Honolulu resident for whom Charlie Chan (Warner Oland) had worked as a houseboy decades earlier, the detective shows up at the desert ranch estate of P.J. Madden (Paul Harvey), posing as a servant. In his servant guise, Charlie monitors the comings and goings of a number of suspects as it becomes apparent that a murder has taken place at the Madden estate.[4]
