The Costello Case

Originally slated for release through Tiffany Pictures, James Cruze Production's The Costello Case ended up being distributed by Educational, a firm usually limited to cheap two-reel comedies. Tom Moore lays on plenty o' blarney as an Irish cop who befriends would-be burglar Lola Lane. Turns out that Lane is a good girl who's been led astray by speakeasy owner Wheeler Oakman. When the latter is murdered, both Lane and her reporter boyfriend Roscoe Karns are held responsible. (allmovie.com)
