The film Charlie Chan's Murder Cruise (1940), starring Sidney Toler, Oland's successor in the role, was also based on the novel. This Spanish-language version is currently available as a bonus feature on the DVD release of Charlie Chan in Shanghai. This used many of the same pieces of stock footage as the English-language version and the script was expanded somewhat based on the English-language script. However, Fox filmed a Spanish-language version starring Manuel Arbó, using many of the same sets, using a Spanish-speaking cast, which was released under the title Eran Trece ( There Were Thirteen). The film is now considered to be a lost film, with only a trailer known to survive. This early work by Earl Derr Biggers was originally published in 1930 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography. Eventually, Chan finds the killer before the next port of call.Ī film entitled Charlie Chan Carries On, starring Warner Oland, was produced in 1931. While his ship is docked in Honolulu, the detective is shot and wounded by his quarry though he survives, he is unable to continue with the cruise, and Chan takes his place instead. 'Charlie Chan Carries On' - the 1931 Fox motion picture starring Warner Oland as Chan - is now considered a 'lost' film (the original film materials were destroyed in a vault fire.) Unless a copy surfaces in some remote corner of the world, as happened with 'Charlie Chan in Paris,' this original screenplay is the closest Chan fans will come.

Inspector Duff, a Scotland Yard detective and friend of Chan's, first introduced in Behind That Curtain, is pursuing a murderer on an around-the-world voyage so far, there have been murders in London, France, Italy and Japan.

Charlie Chan Carries On (1930) is the fifth novel in the Charlie Chan series by Earl Derr Biggers. This is the fifth book that Earl Derr Biggers ever wrote that featured Charlie Chan, the police detective for the Honolulu Police Dept.
