The gang sneaks in to see a horse race, where Mary’s father is one of the horse owners, and is very impressed. They decide to put on their own race, with the gang members riding cows, goats, mules, and tricycles.
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 "Little Jockeys". About two-thirds of the original film was included.
