Bulldog Drummond investigates the murder of a sea captain who died before revealing the location of his hidden gold.

Only one reel of this two-reel film is known to survive. Arguably the first film directed by Alfred Hitchcock (along with Number 13) after several years as a title designer. Alfred Hitchcock was originally hired as assistant director, but when the producer got into an argument with the director and fired him, he promoted Hitchcock to full director.
