  Don Markstein's Toonopedia: The Amazing Chan and the Chan Clan
The major adult (and human) character was Charlie Chan, the detective of Chinese descent who had first appeared in a lengthy series of novels launched by author Earl Derr Biggers in 1925.
Audiences were familiar with him mostly through the movies, dozens of which came out between 1926 and '49, in which Charlie, a detective with the Honolulu police, solved crimes with the assistance/comedy relief of one of his sons (generally referred to by birth order, i.e., "Number One Son" or "Number Two Son").
Like many Hanna-Barbera cartoons of the early '70s, The Amazing Chan & the Chan Clan borrowed a few elements from Scooby Doo, which was by far the studio's most popular show at the time — in fact, the whole idea of licensing a character that solved mysteries was likely inspired by Scooby's mystery-solving schtick.

But Chan proceeds to solve a complex mystery of murder among wealthy transplanted Bostonians, and all the important facets of his character are present from the start.
The importance of Chan's personal life is explored nicely in "Charlie Chan at the Olympics" (1937), when a gang of spies kidnaps Charlie's son Lee to force the detective to turn over a newly invented radio-controlled plane.
Chan, representative of all that is humble, decent, good-natured, and conventional, investigates the crimes and discovers the perpetrators, who are almost always motivated by a desire not for justice but simply for more good fortune than society and circumstance allow them to obtain morally and legitimately.
