With a title like Jack’s the Boy, is it any surprise that the star of this breezy quota quickie is British music-hall favorite Jack Hulbert? The star plays the son of a celebrated Scotland Yard detective, who joins the force in hopes of following his father’s footsteps. Unfortunately, Jack is something of a screw-up, and before long he has become the laughing stock of the force.
