'Come Back Miss Pipps' is a 1941 'Our Gang' short comedy film directed by Edward Cahn. It was the 198th 'Our Gang' short (199th episode, 110th talking short, 111th talking episode, and 30th MGM produced episode) that was released. The tile evokes MGM's British schoolteacher film 'Goodbye, Mr. Chips' (1939) and was Clarence Wilson's final film appearance.
Plot
Upon learning that Mr. Pratt, the mean old school board chairman, has fired their beloved teacher Miss Pipps because she threw a birthday party for one of her students during class, the gang decides to invite their parents to a special performance of a play exposing Pratt's injustices in running the school. As a result, he's demoted to caretaker, while Mr. Swenson is justifiably promoted to Pratt's former position...and Miss Pipps returns. Yet, compassion is shown to Mr. Pratt when 'his' birthday is honored.
