A group of seven children have various comic misadventures whilst trying to help people, in this series of movies produced by the Children's Film Foundation, based on Hal Roach's "Our Gang" series of comedy shorts.

Toby tries on a dummy ape skin which is intended for the local jumble sale, and is mistaken for a real ape which has escaped from a travelling circus. Peewee manages to befriend the real ape by giving him a bunch of bananas.

The gang build a raft to ferry them across a canal, with just one problem; getting the raft to the canal.

An errant cricket ball causes mayhem as the gang try to recover it.

The kids find a pianola, and try to bring it to junkyard owner Old Tom. But when it runs away, with Peewee trapped inside of it, nothing but chaos ensues.

When the Gang decide to be helpful, something is bound to go wrong. They borrow a ladder unknowingly from a decorator, who attempts to climb out of the window, not realising that his ladder has gone!

Whizz converts an old boiler into a spaceship. However a scrap metal dealer has already bought it and hauls it away by crane with the Gang inside. Naturally enough they believe they are in outer space, and Dumbo takes a space walk.

Whizz and Peewee would like to join the club, but first they must spend an hour in a haunted house.

The gang help in the collections for a youth club, by doing odd jobs around the neighborhood and getting into trouble at the same time.
