While E. E. Clive appeared in every one of John Howard's entries in the "Bulldog Drummond" series (playing his droll butler), he was usually so far in the background that some viewers forgot that he was even in the film. But of the films I've seen in the series, this is the only one where I recall him being there, getting laughs simply for a phony laugh at one of Howard's jokes. Once again, Bulldog is intending on marrying Phyllis (Campbell), but a major turn in one of his cases threatens that union again from going through.
Practically every type of people moving vehicle is represented in this film, including planes, trains and automobiles, and a luxury cruise ship where everything comes together. A plane crash gets the film off the ground, and the train ride seems to take place surrounding a set consisting of miniature models, set at night, obviously filmed in a darkened room. The killer is obviously hidden in a very obvious disguise, and there's still doubts that they look better without the disguise. While Howard and John Barrymore's colonel have the usual amount of witty dialog, the best lines still go to Clive, with Reginald Denny getting the worst.
