Storyline

Mickey's mother is about to deliver her fourth child. But Mickey, after reading in the almanac that one out of every four children born into the world is Chinese, is afraid the baby will be Chinese. Frightened at this prospect, the Our Gang drop by to visit Lee Wong, the son of the Chinese laundry man. They hope to learn what to expect of an oriental baby. In the process the Our Gang save Lee Wong from some politically incorrect bullies. In gratitude, Lee Wong's mother invites the Our Gang for lunch. The gang is relieved when the meal turns out to be ham and eggs rather than the fried mouse tails which they were expecting. Written by Thomas McWilliams <tgm@netcom.com>
