Again, it's the morning before the wedding of Drummond and since its going to happen at his own house with everyone already there you'd thinkyou'd be OK, right? Not so - a boffin turns up claiming there's lost treasure on the premises; said boffin is kidnapped and hijinks ensue. There is a funny sequence where Drummond has a series of bad dreams the night before his wedding (this is the series at its most tongue in cheek and engaging - we see snippits from earlier films such as the battle with the lion in Bulldog Drummond in Africa and the rapier vs whip fight), plus a lively finale involving some underground catacombs with large gates and moats and things. Leo G Carroll is the villain. There was only one more film in the series, Bulldog Drummond's Bride.
