Plot

Joe's and Chubby's friendship is tested when their affections for Jean cause the two best friends to fight. At the same time, Farina and Harry have been unsuccessfully trying to go into business as fight promoters, and find in Joe's and Chubby's rivalry the ingredients for a perfect boxing match.

Production notes

Boxing Gloves is a remake of the 1923 silent entry The Champeen. It marks the film debut of Jackie Cooper, who would go on to a successful career both with and after Our Gang.

The third Our Gang sound short. Boxing Gloves was advertised as "all-talking," although much of the film is silent footage without overdubbed sound. It is the earliest Our Gang entry included in the Little Rascals television syndication package.

gollark: Probably not very.

gollark: There's possibly a good reason for the market thing - I did some calculations, and I think the influx of eggs not considered by any of the market-available ratios could have horribly broken it.
