"The First Round-Up" is a 1934 "Our Gang" short comedy film directed by Gus Meins. It was the 128th (40th talking episode) "Our Gang" short that was released.

Plot

This episode has some similarities of a previous episode from 1930 called Bear Shooters, but with another generation of Our Gangers. Expansively planning a camping trip "for a week, maybe two weeks," the older Our Gang kids refuse to allow little Spanky McFarland and Scotty Beckett tag along. But when the kids reach their predetermined campsite, they find that Spanky and Scotty have already arrived. Even more embarrassing, the two younger kids seem to be a lot more prepared for the camping expedition --- and a lot less scared of the dark. A thunderstorm ends this camping trip abruptly. cite web |url=http://movies.nytimes.com/movie/225672/The-First-Round-Up/overview |title=New York Times: The First Round-Up |accessdate=2008-09-20|work=NY Times]
