Jackie is hopelessly in love with Miss Crabtree. At the same time, his sister Mary Ann tells their mother that Jackie is in love with Miss Crabtree. Jackie runs off to school without eating breakfast. Meanwhile, Miss Crabtree becomes a border in Jackie's home and moves in later that day. Chubby also is in love with Miss Crabtree and practices kissing her on a cardboard statue of Greta Garbo. Then at school, Wheezer tells Jackie, Mary Ann, Chubby, Farina, and Buddy that Miss Crabtree was moving into their house. Jackie has mixed emotions about this.
That evening, Miss Crabtree has dinner with Jackie, Mary Ann, Wheezer, and their mother. Mothballs fell into the soup a bit earlier (the audience sees this while the people in the film do not) giving the soup a very bitter taste. Later, Chubby stops in to see Miss Crabtree and recites some very romantic poetry. Miss Crabtree asks Chubby where he got all this stuff. He stated from Wheezer (who got them from his mother). Jackie's, Wheezer's, and Mary Ann's mother hears this and is about to give Wheezer a spanking but decided not to in the end.
Most of the schoolyard scene was edidted out of the Little Rascals television print in 1971 due to stereotyping of African Americans but reinstated in 2001 AMC showings.
