"Three Men in a Tub" is a 1938 "Our Gang" short comedy film directed by Nate Watt. It was the 164th "Our Gang" short (165th episode, 76th talking short, and 77th talking episode) that was released.

Plot

Seven-year-old heartbreaker Darla throws her steady beau Alfalfa over in favor of wealthy Waldo, who owns a junior-sized motorboat. Determined to win Darla back, Alfalfa challenges Waldo to a boat race for the championship of Toluca Lake. Alfie's vessel is a typical spit-and-vinegar "Our Gang" creation, powered by a couple of overworked ducks. Despite his amateurish means of conveyance, Alfalfa not only defeats Waldo, but also gets a chance to play hero by rescuing Darla from a watery fate. Could those little nemeses Billy "Buckwheat" Thomas and Eugene "Porky" Lee have had anything to do with Waldo's downfall? cite web |url=http://movies.nytimes.com/movie/225696/Three-Men-in-a-Tub/overview |title=New York Times: Three Men in a Tub |accessdate=2008-09-21|work=NY Times]

Note

This was the last appearance for "Our Gang" regulars John Collum and Jerry Tucker. John Collum had very few speaking roles back in 1933. Since then he had only appeared in episodes where many background children were needed. Jerry Tucker began back in 1931. Beginning in 1933 he had moderate amounts of dialogue and even a lead role on "Hi Neighbor". After 1935, he also was only used as a background child when many children were needed, for example in classroom scenes.
