Charlie Chan Warner Oland and his number one son, Lee Keye Luke, are aboard a New York-bound transatlantic liner returning from Germany in their previous adventure (Charlie Chan at the Olympics). After the liner docks, Chan and Lee are met at the pier by Inspector Nelson Harold Huber and two rival reporters, Joan Wendall Joan Marsh and Speed Patton Donald Woods.

Billie Bronson Louise Henry, who left the country hurriedly a year ago when sought as a material witness in a political scandal, has returned to “blow the lid off the town.” She follows the Chans to their hotel and tries to regain her package from the trunk, only to be interrupted by Lee. She then goes to the Hottentot Club, where candid-camera night is in full swing, followed by Lee. Already present are Joan Wendall Joan Marsh and Speed Patton Donald Woods. Billie is mysteriously murdered and Charlie is summoned from a police banquet in his honor. Present in the room with the body are club manager Johnny Burke Douglas Fowley, club dancer and Burke’s girlfriend Marie Collins Joan Woodbury, and the two reporters.

While Charlie seeks a motive for the murder, a second body is discovered in his hotel room, and the package is missing, leading everyone to realize it must have contained Billie’s diary. Charlie neatly puts together a few scattered clues and then springs a trap to confirm the killer’s identity. Lee’s efforts to aid in the investigation earn him two black eyes—one from Johnny Burke and another from the murderer he tackles to save his father.
