SUMMARY:
Eduard Brossolette, a representative from the Bank of France, stops by the
Arriving
in That evening, Barry, working alone, stops by a cafe that turns out to be run by Spanish Roy. Having picked Barry's pocket and realizing his true identity, Spanish Roy sends him
on his way, suggesting that he stick to tourist spots. Back at their hotel, Barry
is surprised by the arrival of Spanish Roy who is suddenly shot by an unseen assailant through the window. Saved by a pocket chess game, Spanish Roy, after a brief discussion, leaves and is immediately arrested
by Inspector Chauvet who hands Chan deportation papers, instructing him to leave the country within 24 hours. The next morning, Brossolette informs Chan that the deportation has been lifted and that the French Government
has issued him a letter of general authority to proceed with his investigation. Chan
tells Barry, "Phone call to Minister of Finance most effective." Visiting
Spanish Roy, whom he has had freed, Chan discusses the French Underground for which Spanish Roy had worked during the war. Chan finds that a part of the Underground, has been reactivated for criminal purposes. Spanish Roy states that he made the false documents for this group at the request
of the French Secret Service. Chan finds that the section Maquis commander from
whom Spanish Roy received orders was a man code-named Michel, whose true identity he could not reveal. The next morning, Spanish Roy hurriedly writes out Michel’s true identity and contact information,
giving it to Barry who is entrusted to give it to his father. Sir John, arriving
at the hotel room, convinces Barry to give him the note, and sends him to Inspector Chauvet with another note. At Chauvet’s office, after reading Sir John's note, arrests Barry.
CONCLUSION: Meanwhile,
Chan has uncovered the location of Michel. Arriving, Chan finds that he is none
other than Sir John. Sir John tells Chan that he cannot escape as the building
is surrounded by Maquis Circuit members. At police headquarters, Spanish Roy
informs Inspector Chauvet that they have been duped by Sir John who is in reality a traitor.
Soon, Spanish Roy arrives where Sir John holds Chan. Freeing Chan, Sir
John flees, only to be gunned down by Circuit members waiting for him outside of the building.
OF NOTE:
Charlie Chan (to Spanish Roy): "I have feeling orange circuit of the Maqui is still active." Maqui: The Maquis,
meaning "underbrush," were rural guerrilla bands of French Resistance fighters, called maquisards, during the German
occupation of France in World War II.
Charlie Chan (to Sir John Rutherford): "Why does a man in your position have to became a criminal?" Sir
John Rutherford (replying to Charlie Chan): "For the same reason that an ex-inspector of Honolulu police still
hunts criminals." (A reference to Charlie Chan's retirement from active police work.)
