    • Trivia
      As Spanky's young charges are getting into mischief, one little girl slips while standing on a chair and hits the floor in what was obviously a painful fall. Not only was this accident kept in the film, they added a reaction shot of Spanky telling the girl, "That's too good for you! That's what you get for being smart!".

    Spanky's one man show

    This is an unusual 'Our Gang' as it completely centers around Spanky McFarland. Luckily, he is one of the few 'rascals' who can handle the lone spotlight. The children he is supposed to babysit are little more than props in this one man show. Spanky's retelling of Tarzan is hilarious. What struck me most about his performance, especially his reactions to things, is the similarity to the work of fellow Roach actor Oliver Hardy. Spanky dealing with the babies reminds you of a small Hardy battling several young Laurels.
