With make-shift contraptions passing barely as moving vehicles, the original Our Gang puts on the saddle in this silent short. I have seen very few of the early films because as a child, I only had access to the talkies. Many of them perhaps do not exist anymore, so the ones which do are absolute treasures. This one features a cast that I was not familiar with other than their brief returns later on. Mickey Daniels and Farina are perhaps the few that I had any familiarity with. Sammy Morison would later find fame as a part of the East Side Kids in the early 1940's. This one has amusing moments even if it is short on plot.
