"Framing Youth" is a 1937 "Our Gang" short comedy film directed by Gordon Douglas. It was the 158th "Our Gang" short (159th episode, 70th talking short, and 71st talking episode) that was released.

Plot

Alfalfa, the resident crooner, has been preparing for weeks to perform in a radio talent contest. With Spanky as his manager, Alfalfa is a shoe-in for first prize -- until neighborhood bully Butch, who intends to perform a violin solo on the same radio show, threatens to blacken Spanky's eye unless Alfalfa withdraws from the contest. The terrified Spanky convinces Alfalfa that he has "a frog in his throat" and will be unable to perform. Eventually, however, Spanky's conscience gets the better of him, and he urges Alfalfa to sing anyway -- with surprising results. In the early scenes of the serial, the viewer is given a guided tour of the Gang's paste-and-paper "voice studio" (complete with Darla as receptionist and Porky and Buckwheat as go-fers). cite web
