What happens

Temple Tower is a 1930 American pre-Code crime film directed by Donald Gallaher and starring Kenneth MacKenna, Marceline Day. and Peter Gawthorne. The film depicts the character of Bulldog Drummond, a British adventurer, and is based on the 1929 novel Temple Tower by Herman Cyril McNeile. It is sandwiched between more celebrated portrayals of the character by Ronald Colman in two United Artists films, Bulldog Drummond and Bulldog Drummond Strikes Back. Although described as lost, the film still survives, with copies held in the UCLA Archives. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
