Charlie Chan investigates when bank employees are inexplicably murdered by cobra venom, and the sleuth (Sidney Toler) suspects a connection to a pre-war case that involved the same means. Adding interest to the setting is a “jukebox” which allows the patron to place a request to a live disc jockey — and this device forms a key part of the inquiry. Benson Fong returns as Chan’ son Tommy, and Mantan Moreland again provides amusing support.

Mildly recommended.
