Mickey gets in a fight with another boy over Mary. The parents show up for Commencement Day at school and listen to the kids recite and play their musical instruments. Jackie puts pepper in Joe’s saxophone. Mickey loses his frog. Farina falls in a well. While the parents are out rescuing Farina, the kids get in a food fight. School is dismissed.
Notes
When the television rights for the original silent Pathé Our Gang comedies were sold to National Telepix and other distributors, several episodes were retitled.
