"Aren't you giving her rather short notice, sir?" said Denny doubtfully.
Drummond laid down his pen and stared at him sadly.
"Sometimes, Denny, I despair of you," he answered. "Even after four years of communion with me there are moments when you relapse into your pristine brain wallow. If I gave her any longer it is just conceivable—though I admit not likely—that I might get my answer from her stating that she was completely unaware of my existence, and that she'd sent my letter to the police. And where should we be then, my faithful varlet? As it is, I shall arrive at Drayton House just after the letter, discover with horror that I have made a mistake, and be gracefully forgiven by my charming hostess as befits a man with such exalted friends. Now run away and get me a taxi."

The First World War is over, but it seems that the hostilities are not. When Captain Hugh 'Bulldog' Drummond and his pals discover that foreigners are infiltrating all levels of English society - bribing, blackmailing, and undermining England's democratic tradition - their course is clear. The Black Gang is formed, bent on tracking down the perpetrators of such Bolshevik plots and rescuing their victims. Convinced that these subversive attacks are not isolated incidents, the Black Gang sets a trap to lure the criminal mastermind behind them to England. All is going according to plan until Bulldog Drummond accepts an invitation to tea at the Ritz with a charming American clergyman and his dowdy daughter...
