Our Gang " shortcomedy film directed by Gordon Douglas. It was the 151st "Our Gang " short (152nd episode, 63rd talking short, and 64th talking episode) that was released.Plot
After appearing as a peripheral player in several earlier "Our Gang" shorts, Tommy Bond made a spectacular return to the series in Glove Taps. Here and in all future appearances, Bond is cast as neighborhood bully Butch, the bane of the existence of Spanky McFarland, Carl "Alfalfa" Switzer and the rest of the Gang. Normally, Butch explains, he beats up every kid in school to prove that he's Big Man on Campus; but to save time, he'll lick the toughest kid in school. By a fluke, weak-kneed Alfalfa is chosen to face Butch in the barnyard boxing ring --- and he has only one day to train for the big bout! He actually wins the fight in the end. The background music in this one-reel comedy came from Marvin Hatley's Oscar-nominated score for the Laurel and Hardy feature Way Out West. cite web |url=http://movies.nytimes.com/movie/225688/Glove-Taps/overview |title=New York Times: Glove Taps |accessdate=2008-09-21|work=NY Times]
