Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWhen Wheezer pays for his 5c worth of candy, he gives Grandma a bogus coin, known as "company scrip", tokens issued to employees, typically by rural logging or mining companies, as a substitute for real money, which could only be used in each company's store. Grandma lets him slide, and drops the token into a cash drawer with some scrip tokens of different denominations, buttons, metal washers and other worthless items. In the drawer, the right edge of a cigar store coupon - another form of scrip that could only be used in one kind of store - can be seen.
- GoofsAt the end of the short, Oscar Apfel (Mr. Pennypacker) visibly grimaces before Wheezer hits him with the hammer.

Decent
Helping Grandma (1931)
** 1/2 (out of 4)
Our Gang short has the group helping out their adopted grandma who runs a small store. A group of chain stores might be willing to give her a good price for the property but a bad man is also there trying to rip her off. This isn't the best short from the gang but it's not the worst either. The movie doesn't contain too many laughs until the very end of the film but the final five minutes make it worth watching. I was surprised to see how well director McGowan handled the suspense as grandma comes closer and closer to signing a bad deal. McGowan edits back and forth to grandma and the good guys racing to get there and does a very good job with it. The highlight sees grandma punching a guy's lights out, which is always fun to see.
