In a dark section of London, an eccentric scientist has created a powerful death ray whose light beams can destroy an entire army in a matter of seconds. His purpose is to use this incredible power for good, but his unscrupulous associate Rolf Alferson has other ideas. Alferson murders the scientist by utilizing a deadly poison and plans to sell the ray gun to the highest bidder. Suave detective Hugh "Bulldog" Drummond discovers the killing and takes the case with his usual sharp eye and flair for the tongue-in-cheek. He soon finds himself in the wrong place at the wrong time when Scotland Yard accuses him of murder. The ace investigator must fight to clear his name and find the missing death ray before the real criminals can get the weapon into the hands of worldwide enemies.

Exciting, fast-paced and filled with humorous dialogue, Arrest Bulldog Drummond was a prime entry in the popular mystery series. The Bulldog Drummond character was a pivotal career choice for actor John Howard. Having gained fame for his performance beside Ronald Coleman in 1937's Lost Horizon, Drummond was for Howard what Sherlock Holmes and The Falcon were for Basil Rathbone and Tom Conway. Arrest Bulldog Drummond contains more sci-fi elements than usual in films of this nature and also features veteran horror movie star George Zucco (The Mummy's Hand, Voodoo Man, The Flying Serpent). Director James Hogan helmed several Drummond films as well as Universal's B-horror classic The Mad Ghoul, which also featured Zucco.
