"Bulldog Drummond's Secret Police from 1939 was John Howard's last film as Bulldog, and it was a cheap way to go out. It looks as if it was slapped together in a day. With a running time of 56 minutes, there was footage from other films in the series. And the title doesn't match. There aren't any secret police.
Hugh Drummond is again attempting to marry Heather (Phyllis Clavering). Hugh and the bridal party go to the Drummond estate to prepare, Heather's Aunt Blanche (Elizabeth Patterson) accompanying them.
There, they meet a man who claims that the civil war Cavaliers left a treasure buried in the house. Drummond is intrigued. The man, named Harvey, winds up dead.
It's obvious whodunit. There's some secret passageway action and Algy's typical clumsiness, but not much else.
Disappointing.
