Covina columnist Harold Teen's (Hal Le Roy) courtship of his longtime sweetheart, high school senior Lillums Lovewell (Rochelle Hudson), hits a snag thanks to his two left feet. Alienating her affections at a dance and facing competition from a newly arrived wealthy banker, Snatcher (Douglas Dumbrille), and temptation from Snatcher's sophisticated daughter, Mimi (Patricia Ellis), Harold signs up for a correspondence-school dance class. Rathburn (Hugh Herbert), the impresario teacher of Harold's class, soon arrives in town, and Harold may yet have a chance to shine! One of the first comic strips to center on the American adolescent, Carl Ed's Harold Teen achieved success, leading to numerous incarnations in other media. Hollywood turned to Broadway dancing sensation Hal Le Roy for this second-feature film adaptation of Harold Teen, wisely centering the film around Le Roy's astonishing abilities.
