The title of Bulldog Drummond escapes is certainly misnomer. Not only does Ray Milland as Bulldog Drummond not escape, but he needs a bit of rescuing before the film is over.
Adventure just seems to find Bulldog Drummond in a lot of films including this one. He's just driving along when he stops to avoid hitting Heather Angel out on the road. Then Milland hears some shots and goes to investigate, when he comes back she and his car are gone. When the car is recovered from a ditch, she's conveniently left a handkerchief and calling card. Of course Milland is convinced she needs rescuing, though police inspector Guy Standing is not convinced at all, in fact he acts rather obtuse about it.
Of course this Angel has fallen into the hands of a gang counterfeiters and cutthroats led by Porter Hall. Milland does his best, but does require help before the film is over.
Reginald Denny and E.E. Clive are also on hand as Drummond's silly pal Algy who isn't quite sure how he became a father and E.E. Clive his all knowing butler. Denny's character is more silly than amusing.
Milland is fine, but this film is sure not up to either of the Ronald Colman films.
