The Bishop Misbehaves is a 1935 American comedy crime film directed by E. A. Dupont and starring Edmund Gwenn, Maureen O'Sullivan and Lucile Watson.

American photographer Donald Meadows is touring Britain to take photos of cathedrals.

The documents prove that her father should have been awarded a patent that Waller claimed and made a fortune from.

The Bishop, a fan of detective fiction, is thrilled with the situation and decides to solve the crime.

Donald and Hester are abducted by the criminals but they talk them into blackmailing Waller for the document and splitting the money.

He is so ashamed of what has happened as a result of his thirst for adventure that he vows to confess all to his congregation.

The one-hour adaptation starred Charles Laughton, Vanessa Brown, Josephine Hull, and Michael Evans.
