Plot


The gang members are putting on a musical show about Aladdin and his lamp. While Spanky, Alfalfa and Darla endeavor to stick to the script (such as it is), their efforts are undermined by smaller kids Buckwheat and Porky.[1] The ending finds Alfalfa getting his just deserts as his bottom gets burned in front of the audience. As the show fades to black Alfalfa is happily cooling his burned backside in a washing machine filled with cold water.
