Valuable jewels are constantly disappearing and the detectives are unable to obtain a clue. Finally, after an especially daring robbery, a clue is found that leads to the discovery of the thieves.

The end of this is the capture of the chimpanzee, recovery of the jewels and the arrest of the crooks.
"Charlie Chan at the Opera" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "The Evolution of Man" offers its own unique cult appeal.
