Charlie Chan in Egypt

Honolulu detective Charlie Chan (Warner Oland) battles the forces of evil - both earthly and supernatural - in this 1935 film set in the land of the pharaohs. In one of the most complex and fascinating films of the Charlie Chan series, the famous detective is hired when an archeologist disappears during the excavation of ancient art treasures in Egypt. Chan must sort out the stories of the archeology team, deal with the crazed son of the missing scientist, find out why priceless objects are turning up in the hands of private collectors, and battle a raft of seemingly supernatural events. The cast includes an appearance by Rita Hayworth (under an early stage name, Rita Cansino) as a slinky native housemaid.
