'There Were Thirteen' (Spanish: 'Eran trece') is a 1931 American Pre-Code mystery film directed by David Howard and starring Juan Torena, Ana Mara Custodio, and Rafael Calvo, with Manuel Arb as Charlie Chan.Jarvinen pp. 123-24

It is a Spanish-language version of the 1931 Hollywood film 'Charlie Chan Carries On', with a separate cast and several plot alterations. Like the English original, which has been lost, it was based on the 1930 novel 'Charlie Chan Carries On' by Earl Derr Biggers.
