Plot

When Porky and Buckwheat have their marbles stolen by the school bully Butch and his minion Woim, the go to Spanky and Alfalfa at the Secret Revenger's Club. Incurring the wrath of the bullies by throwing tomatoes at them, Spanky and Alfalfa try to avoid them by donning skirts and hiding among the ballet chorus. Butch is so eager for mayhem that he does the same thing. The result is a rather unique ballet that has the audience in stitches...and the school faculty in agony. By the end of their rather unique ballet, which resulted in Alfalfa being thrown while getting the marbles back, Porky and Buckwheat got their payback on Butch and Woim by throwing tomatoes at them as the bullies bowed to the audience.
