Murder at Gannett's house

Reporting to Scotland Yard

Release and the missing stingray

Bulldog is released for lack of evidence and heads to the London Botanical Gardens. There he discovers that a loaned stingray is missing, a clue tied to The Stinger. The loss deepens the mystery and links the case to animal and device theft.

The Stinger's threat

A threatening note from The Stinger warns Bulldog to drop the investigation. The message escalates the danger and signals a personal vendetta against him. The hunter becomes the hunted as events close in.

Death ray near flickering lights

Drummond deduces that the death ray is likely positioned near areas with flickering lights. He teams up with Algy and Tenny to follow the clues. The trio becomes a target as their movements draw the killer’s attention.

Framed by proximity to the targets

Bulldog, Algy, and Tenny are found near the machine's target zones, which leads authorities to suspect them. They must clear their names while continuing to chase the real mastermind. The stakes rise as the plot tightens around them.

Cruise ship pursuit

Bulldog pursues a lead to a cruise ship and spots Phyllis leaving, which makes him think she may have been jilted. He also encounters The Stinger, who is revealed to be the spy Rolf Alferson aboard the vessel. The pursuit shifts the chase to the high seas.

Return to Scotland Yard

Bulldog returns to Scotland Yard to report what he has learned and to coordinate the next steps with the police. The strands of the case begin to converge around Alferson. Tension rises as the clock ticks toward a confrontation.

Phyllis suspects Alferson

Phyllis becomes suspicious of Alferson after a fake letter addressed to her is revealed to be written by Alferson himself. The deception confirms Alferson’s duplicity and pushes her toward investigating the truth. Trust begins to rebuild between her and Bulldog.

Reconciliation and alliance

Bulldog and Phyllis reconcile and join forces to stop Alferson. They set aside their misunderstandings to focus on stopping the death ray plot. Their united front strengthens the effort against the villain.

Algy and Tenny captured at the deal
