Mickey is in the hospital to have his tonsils removed. The gang decide to visit him, and end up causing all sorts of disasters. They manage to work their way into both the x-ray and operating rooms, among other places. Finally, the gang is subdued after inhaling some powerful nitrous oxide (laughing gas).
The skeleton chasing the African American gag is repeated years later in the MGM Talkie era.
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". About two-thirds of the original film was included. About two minutes of this film was edited with a film from the Hey Fellas! (a rival Our Gang series) into another Mischief Makers episode under the title "Rival Clinic".
