    Magic Monkeyshines And The Little Rascals

    An OUR GANG Comedy Short.

    All it takes is A LAD AN' A LAMP to cause trouble. Convinced he's found Aladdin's Magic Lamp, Spanky tries to turn little Cotton into a monkey. A runaway chimp completes the illusion, but the havoc it causes downtown is no make believe...

    A funny little film, with good performances from Spanky & Stymie. Highlight: the chimp behind the diner counter.
