The kids are real jerks in this one!

The story begins with Joe moving into the neighborhood. The kids there have a cool clubhouse with bowling, pool and more....and naturally Joe wants to join. But the kids are jerks and they put him through a brutal hazing...and then don't let him join after they torment him. So, to get back at them, Joe comes up with a plan...to let them know his father's a cop and pretend that he'll lcok up the kids whenever Joe wants...all Joe needs to do is blow the police whistle and the police will come and arrest them! Fortunately for Joe, they believe him!! What's next? See the film.

The fact the kids are mean jerks isn't that unusual for a silent Our Gang comedy. These kids were NOT the nice, bland ones of the later comedies...they often WERE jerks which is why these early films are far superior to the bland ones made from 1938 to 1942 by MGM. Most enjoyable to see Joe dispensing justice to these kids...that is until a real robber arrives! What's next? See the film.

This is a violent and clever film. I appreciate that the kids are jerks and it makes this one worth seeing.
