When the kids spot a cops-and-robbers chase being filmed on the street, they go to take a look and overhear that the trained dog the director wanted is in a von Stroheim picture for the next four years. Joe Cobb immediately offers Pete the Pup for the job, and Our Gang goes along to the studio. Pete is a wash-out, but when they are ordered off the set, Pete goes into action and everyone runs wild throughout the open sets.

Everyone who loves Hal Roach's Rascals has a favorite, and Pete is mine: the finest dog ever on the movie screen, and he gets to unleash all of his tricks in this episode of the long-running series that has the kids being kids -- and also, makes fun of the movie-making industry of the era. It also has a lot more adults than most of the shorts in the series, as Roach regulars like Sam Lufkin, Charlie Hall and Tiny Sandford take a break from the Laurel & Hardy and Charley Chase units to play studio personnel. See if you can spot the all the supporting comics, and watch out for the pantomime rhinoceros!
