Enjoyable!
If you like the old time detective and adventure films, you should like this one. It is also a rare one, for its not being on any compilation type mystery discs.
Watch out for the stinger
Capt. Hugh Chesterton 'Bulldog' Drummond (John Howard) is engaged and about to be married to Phyllis Clavering (Heather Angel.) However he has to put it off as he is the suspect in a murder. The real murderer bumps off a scientist, beware of the stinger, who invented a laser type death ray that is designed to blow up gunpowder from a distance.
Will Bulldog get the bad guys before they can hatch their insidious plot? Or will Col. J.A. Nielsen, "don't call me inspector', incarcerate Bulldog?
Phyllis takes a positive role and the bad guys anticipate her interference.
The recording of this film is "z" you would never guess that in the same year they made "Gone with the Wind".
Three cheers for Zucco
Some people don`t like George Zucco, but when I see his name it sells me on the movie. An under-rated actor. Good picture quality and good acting by Angel and Howard (he`s the best Bulldog in my opinion).
