Hearts Are Thumps is a 1937 Our Gang short comedy film directed by Gordon Douglas. [1] It was the 152nd Our Gang short to be released. [2]
An audio clip from the short was included (out of sequence) in the beginning of the song "Tough Guys" by REO Speedwagon, from the album Hi Infidelity (1980).
Spanky, Alfalfa and Buckwheat have no interest in observing Valentine's Day. To prove it, Spanky establishes the He-Man Woman-Haters' Club in order to serve as their united front against the holiday. However, Alfalfa quickly abandons the club when Darla flirtatiously winks at him and proceeds to invite him to lunch to exchange Valentines. Spanky decides to teach his buddy a lesson by slipping soap into Alfalfa's lunch while he and Darla are away. Alfalfa stumbles through lunch as pleasantly as possible without offending Darla.
At the conclusion of recess, Darla encourages Alfalfa to sing while she plays "Let Me Call You Sweetheart" on the piano. After a drink of water to settle his upset stomach, Alfalfa warbles through the song as soap bubbles flow out of his mouth. As Alfalfa runs from the classroom upon finishing the song, a vindicated Spanky tears up Darla's valentine for Alfalfa.
