War Feathers was one of the lesser Our Gang shorts
This Hal Roach comedy short, War Feathers, is the fifty-fourth in the "Our Gang/Little Rascals" series. The gang are on a train where they've been playing cowboys and Indians to the consternation of the passengers and especially the conductor who gets one in the rear! They end up in the dusty town of Red Dog where Farina immediately gets abducted by the redskins. The rest of the kids stowaway in a covered wagon which is driven by some bandits. I'll stop there and just say that this wasn't a very funny short and some of the narrative is confusing but there's quite some good camera-work with some sequences seeming to be done by a hand-held camera. So on that note, War Feathers is worth a look if you're a die-hard Our Gang fan like me.
