Rarely Seen Gem - Little Rascals fans take note!, 17 January 2005
8/10
Author: Schlockmeister60 from Butts County, Georgia

It's too bad this movie isn't more well-known these days. It probably was a B movie in it's time but regardless, it is a gem. Very nice performances throughout with several alumni from the Little Rascals comedies (Spanky, Woim and Officer Kennedy) thrown in to make it a special treat for those who enjoy those classic shorts. The story is simple, a boy has won an obstacle race at a summer camp for two years in a row and if he wins the third year he gets to keep the trophy cup. The movie follows his adventures getting to the race by way of a circus. To say any more would just spoil your fun in seeing this movie. It is definite;y worth your time to seek out this film.
