Anxious to wreak vengeance on Bulldog Drummond (Howard), who had brought about the execution of one of their kin, two evildoers lure the witty detective-adventurer into a trap by apprehending his beloved Phyllis Clavering (Campbell). After being put through the wringer in his pursuit, Drummond, too, becomes their captive, but when it looks bleakest for the gallant gentleman, Colonel Neilson (Barrymore) appears--in disguise, of course--to free Drummond and nab the villains. Perhaps the most familiar Bulldog Drummond, John Howard, starred as the detective in several films from 1937 to 1939 for Paramount. Smooth but never overly impressive, Howard was teamed with John Barrymore three times, and, as is the case here, his performace paled next Barrymore's. With this film Reginald Denny and E.E. Clive began the roles they would repeat throughout the series: Denny as Algy Longworth, Drummond's ever-ready friend, and Clive as the adventurer's valet, Tenny. leave a comment
