Bulldog Drummond's Bride is an American crime comedy thriller film produced in 1939. It was the last film of Paramount Pictures' Bulldog Drummond film series.
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.
