July Days is the 16th entry in the Our Gang short subject comedy series. The Our Gang series (later known as "The Little Rascals") was created by Hal Roach in 1922, and continued production until 1944.[1]
A new family moves into town. Mickey immediately falls in love with the family's daughter, Mary, and tries whatever he can to gain her affections. He tries taking her for a ride on his goat-powered wagon, and later dresses up as a knight. In the interim, the village blacksmith, "Dad" Anderson, receives a lucrative contract to produce a creation of his: a sail-propelled scooter. The gang is lucky enough to get a hold of a few of these scooters, and happily sail down the city streets.
In July Days, Mary and Jackie are siblings while Jack is the neighborhood bully.
When the television rights for the original silent Pathé Exchange Our Gang comedies were sold to National Telepix and other distributors, several episodes were retitled. This film was released into TV syndication as Mischief Makers in 1960 under the title Puppy Love. Two-thirds of the original film was included.
