Bulldog Drummond's Secret Police

Starring: John Howard, Heather Angel, Leo G. Carroll

Suave, sophisticated Captain "Bulldog" Drummond (John Howard) explores hidden riches right in his own Rockingham backyard in this sixth installment of the popular series based on H.C. McNeile's detective stories. Drummond is all set to marry his sweetheart, Phyllis Clavering (Heather Angel), when the eccentric Professor Downie (Forrester Harvey) suddenly arrives, informing the Captain that there is a buried treasure hidden somewhere on his estate and that he has the secret cipher which will lead them to it. After deciphering the code, the professor is murdered. Drummond and his loyal crew, caretaker Tenny (E.E. Clive) and loyal friend Algy (Reginald Denny), explore the manor's mysterious, unknown passageways uncovering a gothic torture chamber in their quest to discover both the treasure and the identity of the professor's killer. Bulldog Drummond's Secret Police includes a short retrospective of the prior Bulldog films in the form of an inventive dream sequence triggered by the Captain's pre-nuptial jitters.

Deliberately Campy

Hue Drummond (John Howard) is finally again (fifth time) going to get married to Phyllis Clavering (Heather Angel), His soon-to-be aunt-in-law, Blanche (Elizabeth Patterson), worries that he will get into some sort of trouble before the event happens. As usual, Hue shrugs this off, and as usual, he gets into trouble. Being married means he must move from the lodge to the towers. There he meets a bumbling Prof. Downie (Forrester Harvey) who says that somewhere in the towers is a treasure, also that a criminal, Henry Seaton (played by…Would not you like to know?), was also looking for the treasure before being locked up. Luckily, they hired a new butler, Boulton (Leo G. Carroll), who can function as a guard when needed. The standard creeping around, and murders start appearing. Will this interfere with the wedding plans? There is a whole slew of Bulldog Drummond films and books, by different authors and starring different Bulldogs. This film's Screenplay by Garnett Weston is based on the novel “Temple Tower” by H.C. (Snapper) McNeile. Herman Cyril McNeile (1888-1937) was an English crime writer and the creator of the Bulldog Drummond series.
