Stage Fright is the 18th Our Gang short subject comedy released. The Our Gang series (later known as "The Little Rascals") was created by Hal Roach in 1922, and continued production until 1944.
Author Fawn Ochletree (Clara Guiol) stages a charity performance of her latest play, a Romanesque epic. Thr gang and other neighborhood kids are forced into starring in the play, much to chagrin of the gang. They are completely unable to remembwe their lines, and struggle with maintaing their composure during thwe more serious moments of the melodrama. Finally, Jackie sets off a slew of firecrackers as the finale, scaring all involved.
