Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe Treasure Island referred to in the title is a man-made island in San Francisco Bay that was built in 1936-37 in anticipation of it hosting the Golden Gate International Exposition of 1939-40. After the fair closed the U.S. Navy used the site for many years. Since the 1980s the site has been used by many film and television production companies with aircraft hangars #2 and #3 converted to sound stages.
- GoofsAs Chan's airplane approaches San Francisco, we briefly see a stock shot of the uncompleted eastern span of the Bay Bridge. The bridge opened more than two years before the Golden Gate International Exposition, the film's setting.

Featured review
The Best of the Sidney Toller Charlie Chan Movies Period!
The movie starts out with Charlie and #2 Son on an ill fated plane trip to San Francisco and the mysterious death of a writer on board. This all leads to several twists in the sub-plot and the entrance of mind reader, the mysterious Dr. Zodiac and his fake spirt world trappings. It is a very good flick and if you enjoyed Warner Oland's Chan, Sidney Toller lives up to his acting especially in this film. The Treasure Island refers to the '39 Worlds Fair exhibit and is part of the plot and includes some very interesting, period photography The ending is very dramatic and I won't spoil it but you "will" like this movie so watch for it, only on Fox Movie Network or TCM, as it is not on VHS.
