Synopsis

On the last day of school for the year, 25-year-old schoolteacher Miss Anne Gladden has one of her students writing punishment lines reading I WILL TRY TO BE GOOD on the blackboard. After the class is dismissed, she releases the boy from his punishment where she tells him that not everyone can do what they want to do in their life so they might as well make the best of what they have. She is overheard by an older teacher who remarks to Miss Gladden that she prefers the troublemaking students as they are the ones who can think for themselves.

In London a shape charge wielding master-criminal comes up with a foolproof plan for robbing a bank and outwitting Scotland Yard's pursuit, but during the getaway he hides his haul in a radio set in the apartment of a certain Capt. Bulldog Drummond, leading to a murder, punch-ups, an expedition to France, and a night in a French jail cell and a break-out, in a race to reach Bulldog's fiancee - who has taken the radio set with her on holiday unaware of its contents - before the villain does: ending in a roof-top fight and the Bulldog finally tying the matrimonial knot in an explosive finale to his bachelorhood.
