Plot

Henri Armides believes he has a foolproof plan for robbing a London bank and outwitting Scotland Yard's pursuit. During his getaway he hides his haul in a radio set in the flat to be occupied by Capt. Bulldog Drummond and Phyllis Clavering after their imminent and long-delayed wedding. Phyllis is waiting for Drummond in a French village, once again expecting to be married the next day. She sends a telegram, asking Drummond to send her the radio, both unaware of its contents. The ensuing pursuit of the radio leads to fights, an expedition to France, a night in a French jail cell for Drummond and a break-out. The villain meets his end in a rooftop fight and Bulldog Drummond and Phyllis Clavering finally tie the matrimonial knot.
