A plane full of sleeping passengers, missing cash, and Charlie Chan cracking wise at 30,000 feet.
All the passengers on an airplane headed for San Francisco are drugged, and when they wake up, it is discovered that a quarter-million dollars is missing. Charlie Chan--and, of course, his #1 son--must discover the identity of the person who doped the passengers and stole the money.
