The 1939 adaptation alters history significantly by making Fouquet (Joseph Schildkraut) a thoroughly evil, scheming mastermind. He, Colbert (Walter Kingsford), d'Artagnan (Warren William) and the musketeers are the only ones who know of the existence of a twin brother, and Fouquet uses his influence to keep everyone silent. The main story was changed by portraying Louis XIV as selfish, cruel, and incompetent, and Philippe the kind-hearted brother who is raised by d'Artagnan and the musketeers and does not even know that he has an identical twin.

In London a shape charge wielding master-criminal comes up with a foolproof plan for robbing a bank and outwitting Scotland Yard's pursuit, but during the getaway he hides his haul in a radio set in the apartment of a certain Capt. Bulldog Drummond, leading to a murder, punch-ups, an expedition to France, and a night in a French jail cell and a break-out, in a race to reach Bulldog's fiancee - who has taken the radio set with her on holiday unaware of its contents - before the villain does: ending in a roof-top fight and the Bulldog finally tying the matrimonial knot in an explosive finale to his bachelorhood.
