The third Chan film for Monogram is the third that teams Sidney Toler and Mantam Moreland - maybe the studio realised Toler was so dull he needed Moreland's energy. Chan doesn't have a son here but he has a daughter.
This actually gets off to a good start with a spookey seance sequence but soon bogs down into flat handling.It's a shame because the story is solid and Toler a little more animated than usual. The ending sequence is strong. With the world of fake seances and a decent script a good director could've really made something of this but Phil Rosen couldn't do it.
