From Monogram Pictures in 1939, here's a film entitled "Irish Luck." In this one, based on Charles Molyneux Brown's story "Death Hops The Bells," Buzzy O'Brien (played by Frankie Darro) is a bellhop in a hotel where a guest is murdered. The Police blame Kitty Monahan (played by Sheila Darcy) for the murder. Leave it to Buzzy, who succeeds in helping Kitty espcape and ends up hiding in his home with his mother. Buzzy and his pal Jefferson (portrayed by Mantan Moreland) manage to fumble, bumble, and stumble their way to finding the real killer.
This movie stars Frankie Darro, Dick Purcell, Lillian Elliott, Dennis Moore, James Flavin, Sheila Darcy, and of course, the aforementioned Mantan Moreland.
With story by Charles M. Brown and screenplay by Mary McCarthy, this picture was produced by Howard Bretherton (who direced it), Scott R. Dunlap, and Grant Withers.
This is apparently a British print of this Hollywood-made film.
