The Spanking Age is a 1928 Our Gang short silent comedy film directed by Robert F. McGowan.[1] It was the 80th Our Gang short that was released. The film was considered to be a lost film, until a copy of it appeared in 1990.[2]

Plot

Mary Ann Jackson and Bobby "Wheezer" Hutchins are the children of a widowed inventor who are forced to endure the cruelties of their stepmother (Lyle Tayo) and stepsister. The kids get even by rigging a few clever contraptions of their own. In the end the father sells a patent worth millions. Before that, the Our Gang kids bring out the old "alum" gag, along with several other tried-and-true comedy bits.
