Dad for a Day is a 1939 Our Gang short comedy film directed by Edward Cahn. It was the 184th Our Gang short to be released.[1]
While planning to participate in the annual Fathers and Sons Day Picnic, the Our Gang kids are reminded that their pal Mickey has no father. The kids prevail upon friendly gas-station owner Mr. Henry to act as Mickey's surrogate dad during the festivities. Not only does Mr. Henry win every competition, but he also works up enough nerve to propose to Mickey's widowed mother.[2]
