The Our Gang series (later known as "The Little Rascals") was created by Hal Roach in 1922, and continued production until 1944.

They manage to work their way into both the x-ray and operating rooms, and become subdued after inhaling some powerful laughing gas.

The kids want to get in on the free ice cream given to patients getting their tonsils removed, and decide to switch places with some boys headed to the hospital.

When the television rights for the original silent Pathé Our Gang comedies were sold to National Telepix and other distributors, several episodes were retitled.

This film was released into TV syndication as Mischief Makers in 1960 under the title "Operation Tonsils".
