A Pleasant Journey
About A Pleasant Journey
The Our Gang children trade places with runaway boys who are supposed to be put on a train to San Francisco. On board they pull the dog T-Bone out of the baggage car, and Jackie swaps clothes with a little girl, so both get spanked. A salesman hands out noisemakers and fireworks. They march the cars with whistles and kazoos, set off the fireworks, and pass around sneezing powder. In San Francisco a telegram tells the escort he has the wrong children and must take them back.
