"Pay As You Exit" is a 1936 "Our Gang" short comedy film directed by Gordon Douglas. It was the 148th "Our Gang" short (60th talking episode) that was released.

Plot

Hoping to attract customers to Spankys barnyard production of Romeo and Juliet, star performer Alfalfa proposes a "pay as you exit" policy: If the kids like the show, they'll pay the alotted one-cent admission on the way out. Alas, the show is nearly over before it starts when leading lady Darla walks out, complaining that Alfalfa has been eating onions (which, he insists, improves his splendid speaking voice). After stalling for time, Spanky hits upon a replacement for Darla: black youngster Buckwheat (who actually was supposed to be a girl a year before but morphed into a boy by this time), decked out in a glorious blonde wig! Joe Cobb, an "Our Gang" star from the series' silent days, makes a return appearance as an actual kid rather than an adult. Among the "mood songs" played on the Victrola by stagehand Porky in the course of the show are LeRoy Shield's familiar background tunes "In My Canoe" and "Hide and Go Seek", as well as "Walking the Deck, a tune written for (but deleted from) the 1936 Laurel and Hardy feature "Our Relations". cite web |url=http://movies.nytimes.com/movie/73838/Pay-As-You-Exit/overview |title=New York Times: Pay As You Exit |accessdate=2008-09-21|work=NY Times]
