Little Miss Pinkerton
Little Miss Pinkerton is a 1943 Our Gang short comedy film directed by Herbert Glazer. It was the 216th Our Gang short (217th episode, 128th talking short, 129th talking episode, and 48th MGM produced episode) that was released. Synopsis
The janitor of the Greenpoint department store is murdered during a robbery, while Mickey, Froggy, Buckwheat, and Janet witness the crime. The thieves take the boys hostage, but Janet escapes and heads for the police. Alas, no grownup will believe her story, so Janet enlists the aid of the other gang members to rescue the boys and capture the crooks. Production notes
This is the last Our Gang episode directed by Herbert Glazer, who disappeared into obscurity after that. Edward Cahn returns for the next episode, Three Smart Guys. This was the third MGM Our Gang short to lose money during its initial release, losing approximately $900 after print and advertising expenses were factored into the budget. Cast
