What happens

Charlie Chan's Courage (1934) is the fifth film in which Warner Oland played detective Charlie Chan. It is a remake of the 1927 silent film The Chinese Parrot, based upon the novel by Earl Derr Biggers. Both are considered lost films. An audio recreation accompanied by still photographs from the original film is included as a special feature on some DVD collections. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
