Finally, Bulldog Drummond (John Howard this time) is heading for matrimony in this movie based on the story “Bulldog Drummond and the oriental mind” by Herman C. (Sapper) McNeilel. Will he be deceived by a bank robber who has some odd twists?
The characters are already caricatures; so, they do not need a dufus such as Algy (Reginald Denny) for comic relief. Being the finale in the Paramount Drummond Series, they speed through the story with an explosive ending.
The version I watched had subtitles, and when Drummond gave a verbal message to a friend, the subtitle said (speaking pig Latin) – talk about lazy.
One thing that irks me is a scene where they use matches and touches to highlight a room that they could have just turned on the overhead light, and do so moments later (after fumbling around in the dark).
