SYNOPSIS:

At the City Museum, priceless Burmese crown jewels are protected by high-tech security. However, in what appears to be an inside job, the jewels are taken under the noses of everyone present, including the Chans who jump into action and pursue the thieves.

OF NOTE:

The popular Hanna-Barbera character, Scooby-Doo, makes a brief cameo appearance.

There are several American contemporary cultural references made in The Crown Jewel Caper, including:

The museum curator's voice is patterned after that of Peter Lorre, and Lord Buckley's voice mimics Boris Karloff, while the voice of the museum worker overheard by Stanley and Henry sounds very much like Humphrey Bogart.

An apologetic Charlie Chan tells a museum guard, "You'll have to forgive my son [Flip], he's watched too many Humphrey Bogart pictures."

At the Chan home, Stanley greets Karloffesque Lord Buckley while wearing a Frankenstein monster mask.

Tom chides his sister, Anne, who has just climbed onto a tree branch: "Here's the rope, Cheetah," referring to the famous chimpanzee from Tarzan films.

Tom quips: "The only way to fly!" which was a well-known commercial slogan for Western Airlines (which later merged with Delta Airlines).

CHARLIE CHAN'S APHORISMS:

Advice after a mistake is like medicine after the funeral.

Sometimes no clues are biggest clue of all.
