Our Gang " shortcomedy film directed byGus Meins . It was the 126th (38th talking episode) "Our Gang " short that was released.Plot
When wealthy young Jerry Tucker moves into town, the Our Gang kids line up to greet him. Alas, Jerry is a snobbish sort, though he immediately turns on the charm when he meets little Jane (Jackie Taylor), the erstwhile girlfriend of Wally Albright. Worried that Jane's head will be turned by Jerry's shiny new toy fire engine, Wally and the Gang build a fire truck of their own --- an impressive effort, constructed from virtually every piece of scrap metal and every stray wheel in the neighborhood. The story comes to a riotous conclusion when Jerry and the Gang race their respective fire engines down one of those very steep hills. "Hi'-Neighbor!" was the first "Our Gang" film directed by Gus Meins, who would direct most of the Our gang episodes for the next two years. cite web |url=http://movies.nytimes.com/movie/225670/Hi-Neighbor-/overview |title=New York Times: Hi'-Neighbor! |accessdate=2008-09-20|work=NY Times]
