Cute.

This is a pretty typical sort of Our Gang comedy, though it is important for two reasons. First, it's Stymie Beard's last appearance as a regular (he'd return one more time some time later). It's sad, as he was an enjoyable actor and was better at his role than most of the kids. Second, this is Dorothy Dandridge's first film--even though her appearance is very brief and only at the beginning. Still, these two reasons are enough reason to watch the short.

The kids' teacher announces that she is getting married. The kids mistakenly think this means she's leaving them--but she has every intention of returning. So, in a couple crazy schemes, the boys try to chase away her fiancé. The first one is pretty funny, as the kids try to pose as her OTHER boyfriend in order to break up the couple. Seeing the kids standing on each other's shoulders and dressed in a beard is pretty funny. Later, when this doesn't work, they try to convince the fiancé that she cannot cook--and the plan completely backfires.

The film has some nice moments. Apart from the one listed above, Pete has a good scene and the film is worth seeing.
