The California desert, with its deformed Joshua trees, its vast expanse of sand, its incredibly near stars under tremendous night, is the location. But we have glimpses of the San Francisco and Hollywood with streets showing "living examples of what the well-dressed man and woman will wear if not carefully watched." Charlie Chan, the self-deprecatory Chinese detective, brings the Jordan necklace to the lonely ranch of the great financier, P.J. Madden. The Chinese Parrot shrieks in the nigh -- HELP! MURDER! PUT DOWN THAT GUN! -- and from then on sinister, funny, unexpected, desperate, comical and highly disturbing things keep happening on the ranch. They build up to a thrilling climax.
