Synopsis by Hal Erickson
This silent "Our Gang" comedy starts out as a vehicle for Allen "Farina" Hoskins, here cast as a youthful hobo, riding the rails in the company of his dog Pete. While passing through California, Farina links up with the rest of the Our Gang kids, who are eager to join him in his life of carefree vagabondage. Their odyssey comes to a sudden and spooky end when the kids find themselves stranded in a "haunted" house. Happily, the cops arrive just in time to rescue the Gang from their own vivid imaginations. A tired and derivative series entry, Fast Freight was originally released on May 4, 1929.
