This Hal Roach comedy short, Sprucin' Up, is the one hundred thirty-seventh in the "Our Gang/Little Rascals" series and the forty-ninth talkie. In this one, Spanky, Alfalfa, and Scotty don't like to wash up when going outside...until the truant officer moves into the neighborhood with a little girl they all get smitten over. Spank manages to distract the others away from the girl but once inside-Alfalfa manages to also sneak in, leading to a rivalry between them over her. I'll stop there and just say this was another hilarious entry in the series especially when Spanky and Alfalfa trade dialogue. The girl, Marianne Edwards, is cute enough but isn't the heartthrob that Darla Hood would eventually become when she arrived several shorts later...
