Is this movie also known as "Drums of Jeopardy"? I remember seeing this film on one of the cable TV movie networks years ago. It is interesting to see Oland as a bad guy. As I remember, the movie is pretty good, and has many opportunities for Oland to be sinister.
Actually one of the best Warner Oland villain roles is Bulldog Drummond Strikes Back (1934) with Ronald Colman as Drummond…. a terrific film, well shot, moody, and Oland is superb.
