Miss Crabtree agrees to let the four kids go, forcing them out of her surprise ice cream cake party for the class. The Rascals head over to Grandma Larson 's bakery, and bump into Officer Kennedy along the way. Kennedy is dating Miss Crabtree, and the kids ask him why he has not proposed to her yet. The gang later head over to their tree house located next to Grandma 's bakery to begin rehearsing for an upcoming talent show. The Rascals have their own band, which Spanky decides to call The International Silver String Submarine Band. The band plans on playing Sonny & Cher 's `` I Got You Babe '' for the talent show but wind up sounding terrible. Alfalfa suggests making the performance better by getting Darla to sing the song with him. During band practice, Grandma is asked to visit the local bank and leaves the kids in charge of her bakery. The gang are asked to prepare a red velvet cake, but they put too much yeast in, causing the inflating dessert to explode in the kitchen. Meanwhile, a bank officer informs Grandma that she owes the bank $10,000. If she is unable to pay the money in two weeks, she will lose her bakery. To make matters worse, Waldo Kaye 's father wants to buy the bakery and replace it with a shopping mall. Waldo wants the kids ' tree house for himself and ends up setting off the burglar alarm. Spanky suggests the gang get jobs in order to help save Grandma 's bakery. Porky, Buckwheat, Mary Ann and Stymie all offer their services in professional working environments but are turned away at each one. Spanky and Alfalfa get jobs as Mr. Kaye 's caddies at the local country club, but the two are quickly kicked out of the club after Spanky interrupts Officer Kennedy 's date with Miss Crabtree by accidentally hitting a golf ball at the policeman 's forehead. This does not stop Spanky. He suggests a pet washing business, which quickly goes haywire after he mistakenly replaces a bottle of shampoo with one containing green dye. The fur of several pets turns green, including Darla 's cat. Alfalfa tries to make up for it by offering Darla a ride to the library on his bicycle, but she instead decides to go with Waldo in his toy car. This gives Spanky the idea for the Rascals to build their own taxi cab. This business also ends poorly after Waldo cuts the car 's brake wires, sending them down a steep hill and into a gazebo. Darla, who was riding in the taxi, once again leaves Alfalfa for Waldo. Officer Kennedy, who has constantly had his dates with Miss Crabtree interrupted by the Rascals, yells at the kids for ruining yet another attempt at proposing marriage to the schoolteacher. Angered that Kennedy does not like children, Miss Crabtree breaks up with him. Spanky next decides to have Alfalfa get into the wrestling ring against the mysterious Masked Marvel. Porky is to play Alfalfa 's opponent, but he accidentally tells to Waldo. Waldo then hires Butch and The Woim to stop Alfalfa from winning the wrestling match. Butch takes Porky 's place in the ring and easily beats Alfalfa. To make matters worse, Waldo convinces Spanky to bet the money he had made from the match to him in the event that Alfalfa loses. Angered at their leader 's poor decision and his bossy attitude, the rest of the gang turn against Spanky, but after a talk with Grandma, Spanky is able to rekindle his friendship with the others. The kids now begin rehearsing for the talent show, their last chance at earning the $10,000 for Grandma. Meanwhile, Miss Crabtree agrees to continue dating Officer Kennedy on the condition that he attends the kids ' talent show with her. Kennedy reluctantly agrees. At the talent show, the gang are up against several professional acts including a song - and - dance routine by Waldo and Darla, but Waldo continuously pushes Darla out of the spotlight and she eventually leaves him after he attempts to sabotage the International Silver String Submarine Band 's performance. The band 's rendition of `` I Got You Babe '' starts poorly and gradually gets fair, and gets even better when Darla arrives to sing with Alfalfa. The Rascals win the $10,000, Darla officially joins the gang 's band ( and becomes Alfalfa 's girlfriend ), Grandma 's bakery is saved, and Miss Crabtree agrees to marry Officer Kennedy. In a mid-credit sequence, Waldo gets a `` tree house '' from his Dad as promised, in the form of a miniature of their own huge mansion. When his Dad offers Waldo to christen it himself, Waldo proudly announces it a members - only place and strikes the bottle to one of its pillars. However, instead of the bottle, the pillar develops a crack, which then spreads throughout the house and within a moment, it shatters to dust. Waldo 's Dad comments to a shocked Waldo, that he might still have the receipt.

These include : The `` high - sign '' originally appeared in the Little Rascals short Anniversary Trouble. The kids getting themselves kicked out of school during a classroom party originally appeared in the Little Rascals short Teacher 's Pet. The main plot, involving saving Grandma 's bakery, was borrowed from the Little Rascals film Helping Grandma. The kids ' band, The International Silver String Submarine Band, was original featured in the Little Rascals film Mike Fright. In a deleted scene, Spanky and Alfalfa interrupt Butch 's trombone performance by eating lemons. This gag was also borrowed from Mike Fright. The kids preparing a cake was borrowed from 1932 's Birthday Blues. The sounds that the cake makes inside of the oven are also based on those made by the cake in Birthday Blues. Spanky and Alfalfa getting jobs as caddies was the plot for the Little Rascals comedy Divot Diggers. A parrot says, `` Remarkable ! '', a nod to the Our Gang film Forgotten Babies. In a deleted scene, the parrot also says, `` Yum, yum ! Eat ' em up ! '', a nod to The Kid From Borneo. The kids ' handmade taxi, and the idea of it going down a steep hill were borrowed from Free Wheeling. Alfalfa fighting the Masked Marvel, which turns out to be Butch, was originally featured in the Little Rascals comedy Came the Brawn. The film features a handful of inside jokes for fans of both the original Little Rascals and the 1994 film adaptation. These include : The kids attend Robert McGowan Elementary School. Robert McGowan directed several of the original Little Rascals shorts between 1922 and 1933. Miss Crabtree 's first name is June, while Officer Kennedy 's first name is Edgar. This is a nod to June Marlowe and Edgar Kennedy, the actors who portrayed Miss Crabtree and Officer Kennedy in the original Little Rascals shorts. A marquee on a movie theater reads `` Hal Roach Film Festival. Hal Roach was the producer creator of the Our Gang / Little Rascals series. The talent show host is named Leo McCarey. McCarey worked on several of the original Little Rascals shorts. Bug Hall, who portrayed Alfalfa in the 1994 film, cameos as an ice cream man. In a deleted scene, he suggests that Alfalfa reminds him of himself when he was younger. The `` figurine '' on the cab is the same as the figurine on `` Blur 2 : The Sequel ''.
