SYNOPSIS:
Charlie Chan and the family step in when the mayor of an Alpine town accuses a band of Gypsies of stealing a valuable icon.
OF NOTE:
icon – A Christian religious work of art that is venerated; usually found in the form of a painting.
Scooter Chan: “What’s an icon?”
Hymenoptera – The third-largest order of insects which includes sawflies, wasps, bees, and ants.
Tom Chan: “I’ve just discovered a colony of Hymenoptera.”
CHARLIE CHAN’S APHORISM:
To accuse a man of a crime simply because he is a Gypsy, or anything else, is something I cannot stand for.
