Love Business is a 1931 Our Gang short comedy film directed by Robert F. McGowan. [1] It was the 104th Our Gang short to be released. [2]
Jackie is hopelessly in love with Miss Crabtree, his teacher. At the same time, his sister Mary Ann tells their mother that Jackie is in love with Miss Crabtree. Jackie runs off to school without eating breakfast. Meanwhile, Miss Crabtree becomes a boarder in Jackie's home and moves in later that day. Chubby is also in love with Miss Crabtree, and practices reciting poetry as Dorothy echos him in parody. At school, Wheezer tells Jackie, Mary Ann, Chubby, Farina, Donald and Bonedust that Miss Crabtree is moving into their house. Jackie has mixed emotions about this.
That evening, Miss Crabtree has dinner with Jackie, Mary Ann, Wheezer and their mother. Mothballs fell into the soup a bit earlier, giving the soup a very bitter taste. Later, Chubby stops in to see Miss Crabtree, and recites some very romantic poetry. Miss Crabtree asks Chubby where he got all this stuff. He says from Wheezer (who got them from his mother's old love letters). Mother hears this and is about to give Wheezer a spanking, but decides not to in the end, at the sight of him sleeping with Pete.
Most of the schoolyard scenes were edited from The Little Rascals television prints in 1971 due to stereotyping of African-Americans, but were reinstated in the 1990s home video market.[ citation needed ]

Our Gang is an American series of comedy short films chronicling a group of poor neighborhood children and their adventures. Created by film producer Hal Roach, also the producer of the Laurel and Hardy films, Our Gang shorts were produced from 1922 to 1944, spanning the silent film and early sound film periods of American cinema. Our Gang is noted for showing children behaving in a relatively natural way; Roach and original director Robert F. McGowan worked to film the unaffected, raw nuances apparent in regular children, rather than have them imitate adult acting styles. The series also broke new ground by portraying white and black children interacting as equals during the Jim Crow era of racial segregation in the United States.
