Our Gang Follies of 1938

Comedy, Family, Musical

In the film, Alfalfa decides to quit a pop music revue put on by Spanky and become an opera singer, famously singing a pastiche song entitled "The Barber of Seville" several times throughout the film. The bulk of the film is made up of a dream sequence, in which Alfalfa imagines himself twenty years later failing as an opera singer, while Spanky owns a Broadway nightclub with a lavish floor show.

Alfalfa awakens to find himself back in Spanky's cellar with the audience continuing to chant in the background. Spanky begs him to join in the last act, and Alfalfa, needing no further convincing, rushes onstage to sing Bing Crosby's "Learn to Croon" for the show's finale. (Wikipedia)
