Wiki.

The Return of Boston Blackie is a 1927 low-budget, silent, drama film starring Bob Custer. Based upon a character created by Jack Boyle for short stories appearing in The American, Cosmopolitan and Redbook magazines in the 1900s. It was directed by Harry O. Hoyt and written by Leah Baird.

The film may have been based on a specific story by Boyle, published in Cosmopolitan, but is likely an original story based on the character.

The character also appeared in another silent film in 1918, Boston Blackie's Little Pal, played by Bert Lytell.
