Our Gang " shortcomedy film directed by Gordon Douglas. It was the 157th "Our Gang " short (158th episode, 69th talking short, and 70th talking episode) that was released.Plot
While staging a "William Tell" exhibition in a vacant lot, junior marksman Alfalfa accidentally incurs the wrath of neighborhood bully Butch -- or, as he announces himself, "you're darn right it's Butch!" When Alfalfa faints, his pal Spanky tries to save face by insisting that, were Alfalfa still conscious, he'd knock Butch silly. The bully responds by threatening to bounce Alfalfa around "like a rubber ball" when he wakes up. To prevent this, Spanky cooks up a scheme to convince Butch that Alfalfa has suffered a broken leg while defending Butch's reputation. A large dead fish, previously caught by Buckwheat, proves to be a suitable stand-in for Alfalfa's "damaged" leg -- until a couple of cats show up unannounced.
