Flirtin' With The Little Rascals, 23 May 2000
Author: Ron Oliver (revilorest@juno.com) from Forest Ranch, CA

An OUR GANG Comedy Short.

The guys in the Gang don't want to keep neat & clean, but they start SPRUCIN' UP when a cute new girl moves in across the street. Soon it's Spanky versus Alfalfa for the little lady's affections.

A funny little film. Highlight: the boys' chin-ups competition. That's Dick Elliott as the new neighbor's father.
