Spanky plays church hooky
Spanky has a new fishing rod and decides to skip Sunday School to go fishing. Naturally, you can't mess with God--particularly during the 1930s. So you KNOW something bad is going to happen to him.
Soon after he arrives at the lake (with Buckwheat and Porky following), a grouchy guy (Clarence Wilson--in a very typical Our Gang appearance) tells him to go away--he can't fish there. On the way to another fishing spot, a group of charismatic black people are having a baptism. But, because they are so filled with the spirit, they jump about like crazy folks and scare Spanky half to death (I am sure this will offend a few viewers).
This short works well because it has quite a few cute moments--such as Porky trying to eat fish, flowers, etc. as well as Buckwheat just being adorable. Plus, I did find myself laughing several times--a sure sign that it's a decent film.
