Johnny Arthur reprises his role as Darla Hood's long-suffering father. It's Mr. Hood's birthday, and he has been eagerly anticipating a quiet dinner at home with his family. Alas, Darla has invited a "few friends" to the celebration: Alfalfa, Porky, and Philip. The well-meaning quartet drive poor Mr. Hood to distraction with loud and interminable choruses of "Happy Birthday, Mr. Hood", but this is nothing compared to the presents they've brought: a frog, a duck, and a cat, all of which get into a noisy confrontation with the family dog. When the kids aren't arguing over their favorite comic-strip characters, they're busily devouring Mr. Hood's birthday dinner; the poor fellow doesn't even get a slice of his own cake! That is given to Percy, when he stops in to tell Alfalfa that he needs to come home.
Notes
Feed 'Em and Weep features a depleted Our Gang. Its minus Buckwheat (the only short since 1934 he does not appear in. He would appear in every succeeding episode until the series ended in 1944). It also does not employ Butch, Woim, or Waldo. Its one of five episodes in a row without Spanky who is on loan to other studios. He would return later in the year at MGM.
