The Trap

Super-detective Charlie Chan comes to the aid of a fearful actress whose fellow thespians are getting killed off. Clues are gathered at the Malibu beach house where the murders took place and the killer is finally tracked down. After 22 Charlie Chan films, THE TRAP was to be Sidney Toler's last. He died later that year and was replaced by Roland Winters, who stumbled through a handful of mysteries in the series.
