Bring Home the Turkey (1927)
Directed by Robert A. McGowan
Overview
Habitually mistreated at the deceptively named Happyland Home Orphanage, the Our Gang kids find a loyal and kindhearted friend in the form of a black grownup named Uncle Tom. Alas, Tom’s own children—including real-life siblings Allen “Farina” Hoskins and Jannie “Mango” Hoskins—are carted off to Happyland by the cold-hearted county officials. Farina, Mango, and the other kids escape the cruel orphanage in the dead of night, while Uncle Tom, preparing for their return, “borrows” food, clothes, and furnishings from various merchants.
