"A Lad an' a Lamp" is a 1932 "Our Gang" short comedy film directed by Robert F. McGowan. It was the 119th (32nd talking episode) "Our Gang" short that was released.

Plot

Fascinated by the story of Aladdin's magic lamp, the Our Gang kids gather together every electric light fixture in the neighborhood, hoping that by rubbing them vigorously, a genie will appear. Thanks to a series of coincidences -- not least of which involves a friendly stage magician -- the kids become convinced that they've succeeded in emulating Aladdin. But their excitement turns to dismay when Mathew "Stymie" Beard believes that he's transformed his kid brother Cotton (Bobby Beard) into a monkey! Despite a marvelous sequence in which Spanky McFarland enjoys a free meal at a lunch counter, courtesy of a trained monkey, it cannot be denied that this film contains a great deal of casually racist humor that seems tasteless when viewed today. For that reason, "A Lad an' a Lamp," had been withdrawn from the "Little Rascals" TV package in 1971, though the film has been available to home-video collectors on VHS. cite web |url=http://movies.nytimes.com/movie/225665/A-Lad-an-a-Lamp/overview |title=New York Times: A Lad an' a Lamp |accessdate=2008-09-19|work=NY Times] This episode is being released on DVD on October 28, 2008.
