DURATION:

SUMMARY:
In In
Wishing
to leave before the police arrive and thus avoid a scandal due to the fact that Ali, Yasmin's fiancé, was of a lower social
class than her, is then escorted home by Barry. As Barry leaves her at her residence,
he sees her leave. Following Yasmin, Barry is also followed himself by two men. After seeing Yasmin meet with the one-eyed Hakim, and then leaving with him, Barry
is suddenly attacked by the two men. Reading his passport, they see that he is
Barry Chan, son of Charlie Chan. At Chan’s
hotel room, the police inspector has just completed interviewing the detective, who awaits the overdue Barry. After the inspector leaves, the two men who had followed Barry earlier barge into the room. Chan determines that the two are after the hand for personal gain.
Knowing that a knock at the door is probably Barry, Chan pretends that it is the police inspector. Barry, understanding and following along with his father's ruse, plays along causing the thieves to flee
through the back door. Another person, an older man named Fasil al Salid, soon
arrives, claiming that the hand, rightfully his, was stolen from him. He explains
its true significance to Chan and Barry and how it has kept peace among hostile tribal factions for generations and how, without
the hand, there could be war in the region. Chan wishes to hold on to the hand
in order to use it for bait to capture the murderer of Herun Ali. Meanwhile,
Ahmed plots with the two thieves, agreeing to pay them generously for the delivery of the hand. Yasmin returns
to Chan's room, telling him that she wants the hand in order to return it to its true owner.
Entering the room, Ahmed and the two thieves tells a different story; Yasmin is simply after the money that the hand
could bring her. Chan tells Ahmed that his only desire is to find the killer
of Herun Ali. To this, Ahmed reveals that Yasmin is the killer. A brawl ensues, and as Yasmin accuses Ahmed, the police inspector enters with his men to take Yasmin, Ahmed
and his men away. Chan states that he believes neither Yasmin nor Ahmed killed
Ali. Rather, he feels that it was the person named by the dying Herun –
someone named Hakim. CONCLUSION: Flying back
to Nice with the hand, Chan and Barry make the promised delivery to Dubois. Noting
Dubois' pronounced limp, he accuses him of being the mysterious Hakim, the one who killed Herun Ali. Not trusting Herun, Dubois had traveled to OF NOTE: Charlie Chan (to Barry
Chan): "Number One Son's father was once inside Great Pyramid of Giza - very complicated case about missing mummy."
(A possible reference to the case seen
in Charlie Chan in Egypt [1935]?) Yasmin (to Charlie Chan):
"Oh, I have heard of you, of course."
