Charlie Chan arrives at a remote desert castle with his son Jimmy, who is on leave from the Army. They've come to assist an eccentric historian and his wife, a descendant of Lucrezia Borgia, but soon discover that the request for help is met with skepticism from the castle's guests. Tensions rise when a murder has already occurred, and as the guests turn on one another, suspicions swirl around the Borgia lineage. Chan must untangle the web of deceit and find the killer before more lives are lost in this isolated haven.
