In this one Farina sees a Help Wanted ad for a hotel that's looking for young "Negro" boys to be pages. The hotel is hosting a dog show, and Farina, who gets the job, has an idea for all his friends to bring all their pets to the dog show and win prizes. The kids do so, only for their menagerie--a rather exotic collection that includes a duck, a pig, turtles, mice, frogs, and more--to cause chaos in the hotel ballroom.

Meanwhile, little Wheezer has a group of puppies that always come when they hear his bell, as that's the signal for dinner. A long comic sequence has the puppies getting loose from the neighborhood, and then chasing after ''every'' bell they hear, like fire alarms, train station crossing signals, and more.
Debut of Dorothy [=DeBorba=] who would play in the Our Gang comedies for three more years. Featured Jackie Cooper right before he broke out as a major child star with parts in ''Film/{{Skippy}}'' and ''Film/TheChamp''.

* FatComicRelief: Chubby, the fat kid. His pet? A pig.[[note]]Less funny if one finds out that the boy who played Chubby had a glandular disorder, and eventually got to over 300 pounds before he died of an enlarged heart at age 21.[[/note]]
* FreeRangeChildren: As usual, the Our Gang kids are roaming around town (apparently New York) at will, taking their pets to a fancy hotel.
* RunningGag: Dorothy continually leaving her home carefully groomed by her mother, and in a spotless white dress, and jumping into a watery mud hole. Chubby's running count indicates she's been doing this a lot.
