The Chinese Parrot (1927) follows the story of Sally Randall, the daughter of a prosperous Hawaiian plantation owner, who is compelled to marry Phillimore, her father's chosen suitor, despite her heart belonging to Philip Madden. In a fit of anger, Madden vows to one day reclaim her at the same cost as the valuable pearls her father had given her. Two decades later, Sally, now a widow facing financial difficulties, attempts to sell the pearls in San Francisco. Accompanied by her daughter, also named Sally, she is surprised to find Madden negotiating for the pearls, which she has entrusted to Chan, a Chinese detective, with the sale contingent on her delivery of the jewels to his desert home. Madden is captured by criminals and impersonated by Jerry Delaney, who welcomes Sally and Robert Eden, the jeweler's son. As Chan conducts a covert investigation, the jewels are stolen by various parties, but it is revealed that a Chinese parrot has witnessed the kidnapping and informed Chan about it.
