Plot

In the neighborhood of "Little Hell", Terry Rafferty (Graves), a reformed thief, has fallen in love with Effie Kugler (Love) and is seeking her hand in marriage. Kugler's father (Williams) refuses, which prompts Terry to get drunk and assault a politician. Terry is sent to prison.

Don Dorgan's (Nichols) 30-year career as a police officer ends when the new commissioner (MacDowell) decides that he is too old. Don realizes that the neighborhood still needs him, and wears his old uniform, becoming "The Ghost Patrol".

After serving his sentence, Terry is released from prison, and Don brings him to Effie, reuniting the couple. When the commissioner learns of the good that Don has been bringing to the neighborhood, he rehires him and promotes him.[7][8][9][10]

Production

Edith Roberts was originally cast as the female lead.[11]

Release and reception

The film had its Los Angeles premiere at the Million Dollar Theater.[12] Some theaters showed it with the short Dad's Boy,[13] while others showed it the Baby Peggy short Sweetie.[14]

Overall, the film received positive reviews.[15][16] Bessie Love's performance was well-received,[8] while Ralph Graves was deemed as miscast.[8]
