When the story begins, Bulldog Drummond's friend, Algy, is getting married. Despite being a newlywed, Algy seems a bit indifferent towards consummating his new marriage and spends much of the episode helping his friend on a new case.
As for the case, what it is exactly is unknown until the very end. But Drummond (Ronald Colman) wanders into a home and finds a dead man...and the dead man disappears. And, a woman (Loretta Young) reports a problem at her hotel to the police...only to have the folks in the hotel insist she'd never been there AND the room was entirely changed when she and Drummond investigate it. Obviously something big is happening but the dopey policeman in charge (C. Aubrey Smith) just doesn't want to be bothered. What is going on exactly...and will Algy ever sleep with his new bride or will he perhaps need coaching from Drummond?
The plot itself seems almost irrelevant in this one. Warner Oland is the leader of some evil enterprise...which you only learn about in the final minutes of the story. Instead, just sit back and enjoy the fun of watching Colman...and he's very good in this otherwise okay mystery.
