Plot
Storyline
Screwball-noir in which curmudgeonly-but-lovable tycoon (T.J. Banner) dies and leaves his fortune, including a Brooklyn baseball franchise, to his lovable-but-curmudgeonly cat Rhubarb, setting into motion a plot involving thwarted romance, court battles, baseball heroics, and gangsters.
Rich, eccentric T.J. Banner adopts a feral cat who becomes an affectionate pet. Then T.J. dies, leaving to Rhubarb most of his money and a pro baseball team, the Brooklyn Loons. When the team protests, publicist Eric Yeager convinces them that Rhubarb is good luck. But Eric's fiancee Polly seems to be allergic to cats, and the team's success may mean new hazards for Rhubarb.
