Synopsis by Hal Erickson
When neighborhood nemesis Freddie "Slicker" Walburn and his cronies tie knots in the Our Gang kids' clothes while the kids are swimming, a total war is declared. Commandeered by Spanky McFarland, the gang staves off Slicker's "troops" with a barrage of fruit, vegetables, rotten eggs and Limburger cheese. For a while, it looks as though Slicker has gained the upper hand, but the gang successfully mounts an aerial counteroffensive. Beyond a few clever gags, the most interesting aspect of this derivative Our Gang one-reeler is its location, a vacant lot located not far from a busy Los Angeles oil field. Fightin' Fools was originally released January 25, 1941.
