This is a sprightly entry in the Bulldog Drummond series of programmers.  Hugh Drummond is preparing to marry the long-suffering Phyllis in Switzerland when he chances upon a plot to steal a top-secret explosive and associated murders.  With John Howard as Drummond, John Barrymore as Col. Nielson of Scotland Yard, Reginald Denny as Drummond’s friend Algy, and E. E. Clive as his butler Tenny.  It’s a pleasant, undemanding way to spend an hour.
