Our Gang-Bear Shooters

Leon Janney, Jackie Cooper, Bobby Hutchins

20 mins B&W 1930

Popular child actor Janney made his one and only ^Our Gang^ appearance in this film. Ordered by his mom to take care of his little brother, nine-year-old Spud is worried that he won't be able to join his pals on a hunting trip. His friends know that if he can't go, then his mule Dinah can't go either. So he compromised. His kid brother Wheezer tags along to seek out the big game in the woods. But instead of capturing a bear, they get a gorilla, who is actually a costumed bootlegger who wants children out of his hideout. Unfortunately for the crooks, the kids are more resourceful than they appear. It is one of the most readily available ^Our Gang^ talkies.
