The ship is heading to San Francisco and John's friend, Charlie Chan, a Honolulu detective, is also onboard. Charlie Chan, along with his assistant Jimmy and son Tommy, comes forward to help solve the case.

The police and Keith's family suspect that the shooting was the work of the infamous Crimson Circle, who have been executing several other such murders recently. Charlie Chan and his team begin investigating the case and soon zero in on several suspects. Firstly, they look into Keith's ex-wife, Mrs. Holtz, who is a promising suspect given the fact that she is greedy and wants to get back at him for leaving her. In addition, Keith's former business partner, Rodney Stuart, is also a suspect. There are rumors that Keith and Stuart had a 'falling out', and Stuart has lots to gain from Keith's death.

Furthermore, Charlie Chan discovers that the motive behind the shooting could be Keith's love interest, Diane Burnell, who has been secretly meeting with Stuart.

But Charlie Chan is not swayed, and he continues to investigate to get to the bottom of the case.
