Synopsis by Hal Erickson

The "Our Gang" kids befriend elderly Chief Cummings, a former fire chief who runs a ramshackle taxi service with the help of his faithful firehorse Duke. When the Chief is threatened with the loss of his business -- and his horse -- the Gang comes to the rescue, using business tactics that would earn them a stiff prison sentence were they adults! A running gag has little Bobby "Wheezer" Hutchins taking such dismissive instructions as "Go sit on an egg!" and "Go jump in the lake!" all too literally. A thrilling climactic chase caps the otherwise standard "Our Gang" comedy Old Gray Hoss, which made its first theatrical appearance on October 22, 1928.
