Watchin' The Baby With The Little Rascals

An OUR GANG Comedy Short.

Before Spanky can play football with the Gang, he has to watch his baby sister; if she falls asleep, he is to put her to bed. But how is LITTLE PAPA going to get the tot sleepy?

This is a very funny little film. Tiny Eva Lee Kuney is adorable. Highlight: any scene with the baby. Alfalfa croons `Go To Sleep, My Baby'.
