Plot summary

Again on the eve of his wedding, Captain Hugh Drummond (John Howard) has more pressing concerns when he sets off from London for Spanish-Morocco, because his fiancée Phillis Clavering (Heather Angel (actress)) has seen Colonel Nielsen (H.B. Warner) from Scotland Yard being kidnapped by an international criminal gang. Their intent is to force him to reveal the secrets of the British Empire's latest military technology. With his fiancée (Heather Angel), chum 'Algy' (Reginald Denny), & valet 'Tenny' Tennyson (E.E. Clive) in tow, Bulldog outwits Scotland Yard's bureaucratic blundering, flies his own plane 1200 miles only to find more bureaucratic blundering by the local British Consul ordering him home without delay. Drummond and his friends aren't easy to get rid of, however; they soon mount a rescue plan, eventually liberating Colonel Nielsen and throwing the villainous ringleader to his own pet lions.

gollark: Rust is neat and has decent web frameworks, but being a compiled strongly typed language is somewhat slower/more annoying to work with than Node/Python/whatever. And some of the stuff is still quite in flux.

gollark: I'm sure you could eventually find a use for that.

gollark: It's 40MB, lower-resolution somehow, and doesn't have audio.

gollark: Apparently you can now fit literally the entire Shrek movie (in terrible but sort of viewable quality) into a file small enough to upload to Discord without nitro.
