Un ufficiale demobilitato, trovando la pace incredibilmente noiosa, desidera una distrazione. Legittima, se possibile; ma non disdegna il crimine, se di una descrizione relativamente umoristica. L'eccitazione è essenziale. Affamato di avventura dopo la Prima Guerra Mondiale, il capitano Hugh "Bulldog" Drummond inizia una carriera come invincibile protettore del suo paese. La sua prima risposta proviene da una giovane donna bellissima, che lo spinge a indagare su quello che inizialmente sembra un ricatto, ma si rivela essere molto più complicato e pericoloso. Il salvataggio di un milionario rapito, trovato con le dita orribilmente mutilate, porta Drummond alla scoperta di una cospirazione politica di enorme portata e malvagità, orchestrata dal spietato Carl Peterson.

Bull Dog Drummond is a First World War veteran, brutalised by his experiences in the trenches and bored with his post-war lifestyle. He publishes an advertisement looking for adventure, and soon finds himself embroiled in a series of exploits, many of which involve Carl Peterson — who becomes his nemesis — and Peterson's mistress, the femme fatale Irma. After his first adventure, Drummond marries his client, Phyllis Benton. In later episodes, Benton becomes involved in Drummond's exploits, often as the victim of kidnapping by Drummond's enemies.
