Casual and amusing

Spanky, Alfalfa, Porky and Buckwheat run away from home to a strange town called "Jenksville" (which is as surreal as anything you'll find in the Twilight Zone) where the local constable and shopkeeper decides to "teach them a lesson."

Better than the "teach those kids a lesson" shorts of latter years, because this short is just so easygoing. Porky and Buckwheat are indeed adorable and steal every scene they're in. Alfalfa has a funny scene where the punchline is "He's got it! My personality!" Darla has a very short cameo where she seems to be playing a pesky little sister instead of her usual leading lady role!
