If you've seen the recent "Little Rascals" movie, you will no doubt remember the He-Man Woman Hater's Club to which all the boys belonged. Well, here in "Mail and Female" the whole club begins.
The film begins with Alfalfa writing a love not to Darla. What he doesn't know is that at that very moment he's just been elected to office in the club! Alfalfa is worried when he finds out, as he's worried that the boys will find his letter, so he rushes to Darla's to get it. The boys follow and Alfalfa dresses up in drag to fool them. When Alfalfa (as a girl) is able to vamp the boys, he returns only moments later to punish them for consorting with girls. But, in the end, the gang has the last laugh.
This is a decent short, though like their later ones, it's also quite short. It's cute seeing Alfalfa Switzer in drag, but this has been done before in at least one other short ("Rushin' Ballet") so the only real innovation is the club itself. Good but not great.
