There is wartime espionage in Panama and ships have been lost. An insurance company is desperate to hire private detective Nick Carter (Walter Pidgeon) but he's on vacation. Beeswax Bartholemew (Donald Meek) tracks him down for the job.
It's the second of a trilogy. It continues the espionage aspect as the real world war rages on. I have to admit that I didn't realize that the bee man is a franchise regular. While he provides some essential humor, he needs to quit the bee thing. It's a ridiculous gimmick that makes no sense. He's just carrying bees around like Batman carrying his Batarangs. He could be carrying smoke bombs, honey treats, and stinger-like daggers. The big difference between this and the first movie is a lack of big action scenes. I like the chemistry between Nick and the Bee Man but it's not enough in this one.
