Alfalfa: [Morton comes into the room and sees that the twins are eating his medications, which he doesn't know are merely sugar pills] Good Heavens!
Alfalfa: Don't touch 'em. They didn't mean no harm, mister.
Bill 'Old Man' Morton: They've been eating my strongest pills.

A Rare MGM Our Gang Short Worth Seeing

Despite the mannered performances of both the kids and the adults, this Our Gang short proves that with a little extra effort, the cronies at MGM could produce a short worthy of the Our Gang legacy. With no morals or wartime propaganda to contend with, this mostly funny film centers on action, and lots of it! Alfalfa was a teenager by now, and this was his final Our Gang short. He was responsible for lots of laughs during his five year tenure with the series, and it's a shame his career never really took off after this, but at least he went out on an up note. The real mystery is why MGM couldn't see the advantages of films like this over their preachy "I'm gonna teach these kids a lesson." nightmares that eventually led to the series' demise.
