One Wild Ride is a 1925 short silent comedy film directed by Robert F. McGowan.[1] [2] It was the 45th Our Gang short subject to be released.[3]
The gang has a taxi, consisting of an old Model T with no engine, pushed by a horse. When the owner takes his horse back, they must rely on motorists to tow them to the top of the hill so they can coast down. Little Farina borrows the car and it runs out of control all over town, causing mayhem everywhere it goes.
This 1925 Our Gang short was remade in the 1932 Little Rascals short Free Wheeling.
The big hill used in the film starts at the intersection of Rose Avenue and Overland Avenue in the Palms section of Los Angeles.[4]
