Plot

edit

A kindly old school teacher helps the gang escape from his wife's miserable boarding school. While escaping, they run afoul of a bootlegger, who captures them and ties them up until the old school teacher rescues them just before the sheriff gets there. The school teacher returns to the boarding school and demands better treatment for the boys.

Notes

edit

Mary Kornman does not appear in this film.

When the television rights for the original silent Pathé Our Gang comedies were sold to National Telepix and other distributors, several episodes were retitled. This film was released into TV syndication as Mischief Makers in 1960 under the title "Boarding School". About two-thirds of the original film was included. All of the original inter-titles were cut.
