Circus Fever is a 1925 American short silent comedy film directed by Robert F. McGowan.[1] [2] It was the 35th Our Gang short subject to be released.[3]

Plot

As described in a review in a film magazine,[4] Farina contacts "speckled fever," and, in order to escape school and get to the circus, Mickey, Mary, Jackie, and Joe fake having it with the aid of a paint brush. Their parents and the physician are not deceived and punishment follows in the form of castor oil. Then comes the crowning punishment when the classes at the school they evaded have been dismissed so the students can attend the circus.
