Charlie receives 14 free passes to the circus for him and his entire family but soon realizes that strings are attached--the big top's co-owner asks his guest to investigate threatening letters that he's received. Before the famous detective can, the man is murdered. Charlie soon finds out that the co-owner was not a particularly pleasant or well-liked individual, and among the many suspects are his partner, a snake charmer, and the menagerie's gorilla. Son Lee, usually his father's enthusiastic assistant, is distracted by the show's beautiful contortionist.
Trivia: Keye Luke reportedly clashed with director Harry Lachman over the latter's treatment of the circus midgets in the movie.
Goofs: The ape is shown peeling the banana from the top. Primates, except for humans, peel them from the bottom, thus doing away with those pesky stringy bits.
Quotes: Charlie Chan: Mind like parachute - only function when open.
