Plot

Hoping to get even for all the practical jokes perpetrated by neighborhood troublemaker Butch, the Gang plans to sabotage Butch's birthday party. The weapon of choice is a firecracker, which is substituted for one of the birthday candles. Unfortunately, the kids in general and Alfalfa in particular are unable to escape from the party before the big (and tasty) explosion.cite web |url=http://movies.nytimes.com/movie/226189/Practical-Jokers/overview |title=New York Times: Practical-Jokers|accessdate=2008-10-08|work=NY Times]
