Charlie Chan is Missing



Warner Oland's a bloated old wreck
The production is floating towards heck
What new player Caucasian
Could portray a screen Asian?
Peter Lorre as Moto's on deck.

Maxie Rosenbloom, Peter Lorre, and Keye Luke in Mr. Moto's Gamble (1938). The script was originally written for Charlie Chan at the Ringside starring Warner Oland. But Oland's failing health stopped production, his footage was scrapped, and the script was rewritten for Peter Lorre's Mr. Moto series. Tuesday is Sleuthsday at LimerWrecks.
