Five Little Peppers at Home was just as entertaining as the previous first movie in the series

In my review of the previous movie in the series, Five Little Peppers and How They Grew, I concentrated so much on mentioning that both Edith Fellows and Tommy Bond were in Our Gang shorts beforehand that I didn't mention the plot of that one. Well, here this one picks up where the last one left off as the Pepper family had moved into rich man King's home after King agreed to be Polly Pepper's partner in the copper mine they both owned having previously lived in a more modest house. So it was that all that I just mentioned happened resulted in bankruptcy for King because no copper had been found in that mine during all that time. I'll stop there and just say there's some funny situations-like that of the youngest daughter overfilling a bathtub-and more dramatic ones-like a mine cave-in-that keep the movie quite entertaining during the little more than an hour the movie runs. So that's a recommendation for Five Little Peppers at Home for anyone who liked the first one enough.
