    Plot Summary
    New York policeman James Riley is asked to retrieve neighborhood boy
    Joe Smith (David Rollins), who skipped town after being falsely accused of theft and is now
    living a sinful life in Berlin. It isn't long before Riley himself succumbs to charms of the
    German metropolis, whereupon he magnanimously allows Joe to stay in Berlin long enough
    to win the heart of aristocratic Mary Coronelli (Nancy Drexel). Riley himself also finds
    romance, in the form of gawky German damsel Lena (Louise Fazenda). Little does he realize
    that Lena is the sister of his hated rival — police officer Hans Krausmeyer (Harry Schultz).

  • Riley the Cop is a 1928 silent comedy film,
    with a synchronized music track.
    All evidence suggests that Riley the Cop was a delightful vehicle
    for John Ford "regular" J. Farrell McDonald.
    It would seem that the movie is presently unavailable
    but not completely lost.
