Charlie Chan's Greatest Case (1933) is an American pre-Code murder mystery film starring Warner Oland as the Oriental detective Charlie Chan.
[citation needed] In Honolulu's Waikiki, two brothers, Dan (Robert Warwick) and Amos (Frank McGlynn) Winterslip have had a decades-long feud which worsens when Dan announces his engagement to a scandalous, younger woman.
When Dan is found murdered in his beachside home, Charlie Chan (Warner Oland) is called on to investigate.
As the list of suspects grows, the case becomes increasingly dangerous for both Charlie Chan and Dan’s nephew, John Quincy (John Warburton), who seeks to find his uncle’s killer.
