Football Romeo is a 1938 Our Gang short comedy film directed by George Sidney. It was the 173rd Our Gang short to be released.[1]
The gang squares off against Butch's Assassins in a crucial football game. Star player Alfalfa balks at participating, leaving it up to Darla to coerce and cajole him into donning his uniform. The climax of the game finds Alfalfa attempting a sixty-yard touchdown, despite the formidable opposition of his lifelong rival Butch.[2]
