Britain's Bulldog picks up the lady's scent when she arrives in London to collect her fee from the late magnate's chief competitors. She offers him a cigar; this time it is too slow on the draw, and Drummond tails her to a rendezvous with her boss, the inevitable master criminal. In his previous incarnations, Carl Petersen was presented as a fiend "whose inhuman calm acted on Drummond like a cold douche"; in this film, he is introduced as an Oilfinger (Nigel Green) who extorts a tribute of terror from the big petroleum cartels...
