That's My Daddy

In an era where social standing dictated much, Reginald Denny's 'That's My Daddy' introduces us to a seemingly carefree bachelor, Armand Kaliz, whose quick wit, or rather, his quick lie, propels him into a domestic farce of unexpected depth. When confronted by a traffic officer, Kaliz’s character impulsively fabricates a tale of visiting a gravely ill daughter. This seemingly innocuous fib, designed to evade a mere ticket, unexpectedly entangles him with a precocious orphan girl at a local hospital who, upon overhearing his claim, latches onto him as her long-lost father. What begins as a convenient deception rapidly escalates into a complex charade, forcing the reluctant 'dad' to conceal the spirited child from his unsuspecting fiancée, Barbara Kent, thereby navigating a treacherous landscape of romantic entanglement and burgeoning, albeit accidental, paternal responsibility.
