The Rogue Song is a 1930 romantic musical film. Directed by Lionel Barrymore and Hal Roach, the film is about singing bandit leader Yegor (Lawrence Tibbett) falling in love with Princess Vera (Catherine Dale Owen), only to take revenge on her after her brother rapes and kills his sister. In order to increase the film's box office appeal, eight Laurel and Hardy segments were included throughout the film.
The film in its entirety was held in MGM Vault #7 and was destroyed in the fire on May 13, 1967. Despite numerous search efforts for the movie, only three segments have survived, including a dancing sequence, one of the Laurel and Hardy segments, and the film's trailer.
