Synopsis by Hal Erickson
While recklessly playing baseball in a busy street, Our Gang member Mickey (Robert Blake) is struck by a car. Though he fully recovers from his injuries, Mickey meets several other kids in the hospital who weren't so lucky. Instantly developing a sense of civic responsibility, the Gang members establish the "1-2-3 Go Safety Society," dedicated to lowering the number of auto injuries in their community. Playing more like a public service announcement than an Our Gang one-reeler, 1-2-3 Go was originally released on April 26, 1941.
