Charlie Chan at the Olympics

Charlie Chan at the Olympics 1937 is possibly the most topical Charlie Chan film, as it features actual footage from the 1936 Berlin Olympics. There is also a scene where Charlie crosses the Atlantic in the Hindenburg. This is the 14th film starring Warner Oland as Chan and produced by Fox.

On the passenger list of the only aircraft to leave Honolulu for the mainland after the incident are Richard Masters Allan Lane and Yvonne Roland Katherine DeMille. Masters was the intended test pilot, only he injured his shoulder and had to be replaced. It turns out, however, he left on the Pan Am Clipper to travel to the Olympics himself as a competitor. Perusing the list, Hopkins Jonathan Hale recognizes the name of arms dealer Arthur Hughes C. Henry Gordon. Several of the suspects head for Germany by steamship. Chan, Hughes and the inventor Cartwright manage to arrive ahead of them by taking the Zeppelin Hindenburg.Aboard the ship Manhattan, Lee Chan suspects Roland of being an adventuress. He spots her putting a piece of paper in her book, and Hughes taking it. He confides in fellow Olympian Betty Adams Pauline Moore, Masters girlfriend. ........
