Synopsis by Hal Erickson

Adopted by his wealthy Aunt Kate, freckle-faced Mickey Daniels at first enjoys his newly luxurious surroundings, but before long he misses the companionship of the other Our Gang kids. In addition, Mickey can't stand his obnoxious cousin Percy, nor does he relish Aunt Kate's efforts to turn him into a proper gentleman. But salvation is at hand: While Aunt Kate is out, Mickey invites his old pals to pay him a visit, whereupon they make such a mess of the place that Auntie is more than glad to send Mickey back where he truly belongs. Originally released on August 24, 1924, the silent two-reel Our Gang comedy High Society was never officially remade, though elements of the plot would resurface in several future series entries. Excerpts from High Society appear as "flashback" sequences in the 1932 Boy Friends comedy Too Many Women, which features former Gang stalwarts Mickey Daniels and Mary Kornman.
