Plot

It seems that Mickey is upset over the fact that his parents spend every Monday night arguing. The reason: Mickey's mother invariably serves hash made from the Sunday-dinner leftovers, and Mickey's father hates hash. To teach the two adults a lesson, the Our Gang kids stage a skit on a local radio program, ending with a heartfelt plea by Mickey to stop the quarrelling. ^[2]
