The Cobbler is the eighth Our Gang short subject comedy to be released.[1] The Our Gang series (later known as "The Little Rascals") was created by Hal Roach in 1922, and continued production until 1944.[2]
After the gang wreaks havoc in the local cobbler's shop, the friendly cobbler takes them on a picnic, during which his old Model T breaks down. While the cobbler goes to the creek to fetch water for the radiator, the gang tries to do all sorts of repairs on the car, causing more problems. Mickey and Jack accidentally disturb the rest of a sleeping hobo, who then attempts to physically attack them. The gang rigs the car with a sail after their dog chases him off to get the car going again as they sail off into the sunset.
