SYNOPSIS
The invention of an atomic weapon, a long-range ray capable of detonating explosions, prompts Scotland Yard and Captain Drummond into action. Amidst preparations for Bulldog's wedding in London, he and Algy Longworth are summoned to eccentric scientist Richard Gannett's house. There, they find Gannett murdered, with his last words warning of "The Stinger." Reporting the crime to Scotland Yard, Bulldog becomes a suspect after a dock-yard altercation. Following clues, Bulldog discovers the missing death ray near flickering lights. He uncovers The Stinger's identity as spy Rolf Alferson and foils his plot to sell the weapon. With Phyllis's help, Bulldog apprehends Alferson, ensuring justice prevails.
