Plot

Boxing Gloves (1929)

Best friends Joe and Chubby's friendship is tested when their affections for Jean cause them to fight. Farina and Harry have been unsuccessfully trying to become fight promoters and see the feud as the basis of a boxing match.

Production notes

Boxing Gloves is a remake of the 1923 silent entry The Champeen . It is the final appearance of Joe Cobb and marks the film debut of Jackie Cooper, who later enjoyed a successful career both with and after Our Gang.

The third Our Gang sound short, Boxing Gloves was advertised as "all-talking", although much of the film consists of silent footage without overdubbed sound. It is now the earliest Our Gang entry included in the Little Rascals television syndication package.
