Plot

Initially, fickle Darla declared that she would not go out with neighborhood bully Butch until he started behaving like a gentleman. This week, however, Darla is ga-ga over "muscle men" in general and self-styled wrestler Alfalfa in particular. Thanks to the machinations of his manager Spanky, "Wildcat" Alfalfa is set to defend his championship title in a fixed bout against the "Masked Marvel"—in reality, the wimpy Waldo. But what Alfalfa doesn't know is that a revenge-seeking Butch has traded places with Waldo. As he prepares to mop up the floor with the helpless Alfalfa, Butch is defeated through the trickery of Buckwheat and Porky—but this time, both Alfalfa and Butch are losers when it comes to Darla.
