Output (English): While visiting Prefect of Police Romaine C. Henry Gordon in Paris, France, during the Czech annexation crisis in September 1938, Charlie Chan Sidney Toler is left to guide Romaines bumbling godson, Police Inspector Marcel Spivak Harold Huber, during a blackout. The two are called to the home of Petroff Douglass Dumbrille, an arms dealer who has been murdered. Spivak suspects his butler, Antoine Pedro de Cordoba, but spy Charlotte Ronnell Dorothy Tree is spotted fleeing the residence. Due to a chance encounter earlier, Chan realizes that local woman Marie Dubon Lynn Bari is involved, and the two detectives head to her hotel. Charlie learns that Dubon was helping her husband, Tony Madero Richard Clarke, clear his name after Petroff accused him of smuggling. Following a clue in Dubons room, Chan interrogates counterfeitor Louis Santelle Leo G. Carroll. Returning to the Petroff household, Chan and Spivak track down burglars Lola Barbara Leonard, Max Louis Mercier, and Alex George Davis who had broken into Petroffs house just before the murder before interrogating Petroffs business partner, Belescu Noel Madison. After nearly being killed by Santelle, Charlie realizes that three clues are the key to the case: A dropped franc coin, a wooden leg, and a telephone left off the hook. After Belescu is shot, Chan and Spivak chase Ronnell to Le Bourget Airport. But her plane crashes during takeoff and she dies. Chan returns to police headquarters, and reveals that Antoine a French patriot killed Petroff after returning home early and discovering that Petroff was selling arms to Nazi Germany. Prefect Romaine says Antoine will likely stand trial for murder, but is likely to receive the Legion of Honour instead of the guillotine.
