Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaMatthew Beard and Dickie Moore were good friends in real life, as they are in this film. Moore later fondly recalled going to the Beards' home for play and meals.
- GoofsWithout explanation, Dorothy disappears from the "taxi" and miraculously ends up in the car with Dickie's parents.
- Alternate versionsWhen the short aired on television during the 1970s the scene where Stymie's mother was calling for him to take the laundry to Dick's parent's house was edited out because it was felt that it was racially insensitive. Similarly, the scene where Dick's mother referred to Stymie as "that colored boy" was also later edited out for the same reason.

Among the Best!
I recently bought a collection of Little Rascals shorts on DVD for my 3 year old daughter...needless to say she loves these pieces more than anything on TV today...she's memorized many of the lines in them and will quip off at will at any time around the house... This particular episode serves as a sterling example of the Little Rascals at their best...not only the kids but the adult team of McGowan, Roach, and Walker. Their direction and writing are fantastic, and create humor that is enjoyable and timeless... 70 years later we still find ourselves in stitches watching the gang's adventures.
This episode features Dickie Moore and Stymie Beard, along with Spanky, Kendall McComas (Brisbane), and Dorothy (DeBorba)... The premise of the sick rich kid wanting to "rough it up a bit" with the "street urchins" is refreshing to this day...color of skin was no barrier. The taxi contraption is ingenious and hilarious to watch in action. Spanky provides priceless comic relief going up against the poor little monkey. In the end, every issue is resolved and it even seems Dickie's (rich kid) parents view Stymie (street urchin) as a hero! Look for Stymie's real-life mother in a brief cameo...
Could you imagine how much fun it would be if we could watch one of these shorts in a theater before the main attraction (instead of all the commercial advertising)like the old days? Imagine what a treat people who've never heard of this series would be in for!
