Synopsis edit
Joe arrives as the new boy in school, and the boys decide to initiate him into their secret club, the Cluck Cluck Klams. During the proceedings, a couple of auto thieves break into the barn, and when they make their getaway, Farina and Jackie are in the back seat.
Notes edit
When the television rights for the original silent Pathé Our Gang comedies were sold to National Telepix and other distributors, several episodes were retitled. This film was re-released as Mischief Makers in 1960 under the title The Secret Meeting. About two-thirds of the original film was included. Deleted scenes from this print include some of the classroom footage from the beginning of the film, as well as all of the scenes showing Ernie and Farina at Prof. Culpepper's night school. The film was also re-released as Those Lovable Scallawags with Their Gangs under the title Their Latest Prank.
