Carrol Naish). The evil Valdin is wanted for the murder of an American tycoon in his native Paris. Drummond is aided in his search by his butler Tenny and his pal Algy Longworth, as well as Scotland Yard's Inspector Neilson (John Barrymore), a master of disguises.

2. Bulldog Drummond Escapes
This is the only Bulldog Drummond film to star the fabulous Ray Milland as our heroic adventurer who must once more try to rescue his kidnapped fiancee, Phyllis Clavering (Heather Angel). She is being held prisoner on a country estate by a supposed friend who is scheming to steal her fortune. When her brother is killed, the perpetrators then stalk Bulldog and his pal Algy Longworth (Reginald Denny). Bulldog must face his greatest challenge before the mystery is unraveled with the help of Scotland Yard.

3. Bulldog Drummond in Africa
Bulldog's wedding plans are put on hold when his fianc?e Phyllis (Heather Angel) witnesses the violent kidnapping of long-time pal and wedding guest Colonel Neilson (H.B. Warner) of Scotland Yard. The chase leads to far away Morocco where a foreign spy ring headed by the ruthless Richard Lane (J. Carrol Naish) holds the Colonel prisoner. If he doesn't give up his country's secrets, a large and distinctly unfriendly lion is ready to rip him to pieces. Can Bulldog save the day?

4. Bulldog Drummond's Peril
Once again Captain Hugh "Bulldog" Drummond (John Howard) is about to wed his long-suffering fianc?e Phyllis Clavering (Louise Campbell) at her families' Swiss villa. The wedding is postponed when the Swiss police officer who is guarding their wedding gifts is killed. The murderer had a hidden agenda, as one of the gifts was an artificial diamond developed by the scientist father of the couples' friend Gwen Longworth. Drummond and his usual band of investigators must come to the rescue by tracking down the killer and uncovering their evil plot.

5. Bulldog Drummond's Revenge
Bulldog Drummond (John Howard) along with his pal Algy Longworth and fianc?e Phyllis Claverling, come upon a severed arm that is still attached to a valise filled with a new type of high explosive. Their investigation put them on the trail of the evil Draven Nogais (Frank Puglia), who has run off with the top secret formula for the high explosives.

And, yet again, the wedding must wait when the eccentric Professor Downie (Forrester Harvey) appears. The Professor informs Bulldog that a fortune is buried on the Rockingham estate where he is to get married and he has the secret cipher that will lead them to it. Before he can follow through, the Professor is murdered, and the hunt is on to find the killer and the hidden treasure.

7. Dick Tracy Meets Gruesome
The inimitable Boris Karloff guest stars as the titular Gruesome, an escaped prisoner who is planning a daring bank robbery. After discovering a gas some scientists have discovered that will temporarily paralyze a person, Gruesome plots to use this as a means to carry out his robbery and make his escape without any witnesses. The robbers carry out a daring daylight bank robbery and use the gas to paralyze all the bank's employees and customers. Unfortunately for them, one of the bank customers is Tess Truehart (Anne Gwynne), Dick Tracy's girlfriend, and she is unaffected by the gas. Truehart is able to telephone Dick Tracy (Ralph Byrd) for help and the investigation gets underway to track down the culprits.

8. Dick Tracy vs. Cueball
Dick Tracy (Morgan Conway) faces one of his most evil adversaries in the form of "Cueball", a ruthless criminal played by a very scary Dick Wessel. Cueball has been betrayed by his gang members, and is now disposing of them one by one. Normally this would not have bothered the police who had long targeted the villains, but now Dick Tracy himself is marked for death. It's up to Tracy and his partners to track down this gangland killer before Tracy is added to the list of victims.

9. Dick Tracy, Detective
Three gruesome murders have happened and Dick Tracy gets involved in the investigation. There is no apparent connection between the deaths with the victims coming from every facet of society and economic status. The only common denominator for these killings is the method of their demise&they were all slashed to pieces. Tracy must use all of his skills and know-how to find the link in all the deaths that will lead him to the culprit before the killer strikes again.

10. Dick Tracy's Dilemma
In this latest adventure featuring top-notch police detective Dick Tracy (Ralph Byrd), our intrepid sleuth is called in on an apparent fur heist.

When the innocent owners of the music boxes start turning up dead, it's up to Holmes and Watson to find the remaining music box, before an unsavory collection of criminals do. The repartee between Rathbone and Bruce is delightful as always.

20. Woman in Green, The
Sherlock Holmes (Basil Rathbone) and his partner Dr. Watson (Nigel Bruce) are attempting to help Scotland Yard in solving a series of strange, seemingly random murders.

The diabolical Professor Moriarty, despite premature reports of his execution in Montevideo, is thought to be implicated. Holmes and Moriarty face off in the climactic scene, when, briefly, it appears that our hero's nemesis may win the day.
