Buckwheat gets a dog from another kid and names it Smallpox with the result is everyone thinks that Buckwheat has the terrible disease.
Final Our Gang film has a killer opening of Buckwheat talking to another kid and it shows both how the series might have been able to continue on and what a great actor Billie 'Buckwheat' Thomas was. Its a beautiful opening bit that made me sit up and take notice. After that the film settles down into typical Our Gang craziness. Better than several of the films that preceded it, this is an enjoyable, if unremarkable little film. There are a few little bits I like (like why is Buckwheat cold) that give sense that with care the series might have continued on. Unfortunately that was not to be and the series was over and done with at this point. This film is worth a look more for the pieces than as a whole, but its still worth seeing
