Plot

Moving out of their standard small-town surroundings, the gang visits the farm owned by Mickey's uncle where the youngsters attempt to milk a cow by placing two bottles under the udders and hoping that nature takes its course.

Reception

This film was criticized by The New York Times, riddled with misfired directing and unconvincing performers. If the film had some of the past gangers like Spanky, Alfalfa, Stymie and Wheezer, it may have been a better film.[1]
