What happens

The Scarlet Clue is a 1945 American mystery film directed by Phil Rosen and starring Sidney Toler, Mantan Moreland, and Ben Carter. It was produced and released by Monogram Pictures. The film is also known as Charlie Chan in the Scarlet Clue (as the phrase appears on the main title) and Charlie Chan: The Scarlet Clue in Australia. While some presume the film to be in the public domain, due to the omission of a valid copyright notice on original-release prints, The Scarlet Clue was indeed registered for copyright by Monogram Pictures on April 1, 1945 (certificate number LP13234).
