At the same time Paramount Pictures was trying to build Bing Crosby into a big-time actor through their short films, they also tried the same with Harry Barris. Both were successful on the radio and in clubs but Barris' shorts, at least the ones I've seen, were not especially good....and part of it was due to his singing. He just didn't sound as good as Crosby and the plots in his films weren't especially good. "That Rascal" didn't especially impress me.
Audrey is dating Harry Barris and is a bit worried about introducing him to her father. However, when she hears from him that he LIKES Barris' singing, she's eager to introduce them and let Daddy know that they plan on marrying. But what she and Harry don't know is that one of Harry's songs he sings on the radio is a song Daddy also HATES....and he becomes very hostile when he hears "I'll Be Glad When You're Dead You Rascal You" (a song NOT written by Barris). What will happen when and if Daddy learns the truth?
The film has very few laughs and Barris just doesn't come off very well. Overall, an easy film to skip.
