About Small Talk
The Our Gang orphans want homes where spinach is not served. A rich couple adopts Wheezer and not his sister Mary Ann. The gang's visit sets off an alarm, and the police and fire department arrive. The couple then takes Mary Ann too, their friends each take a child, and the maid adopts Farina.
