What happens

The Lone Wolf Meets a Lady is a 1940 American drama directed by Sidney Salkow, starring Warren William, Eric Blore and Jean Muir. The Lone Wolf character dates back to 1914, when author Louis Joseph Vance created him for a series of books, later adapted to twenty-four Lone Wolf films (1917–1949). Warren Williams starred in nine of these films (1939–1943), with The Lone Wolf Meets a Lady being William's third as Michael Lanyard. His next film was The Lone Wolf Keeps a Date, in 1941. The film also introduces a sidekick for Lanyard, his bumbling valet Jamison, played by Eric Blore. Blore would play Jamison in seven more films. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
