Wikipedia article
'The Big Premiere' is a 1940 'Our Gang' short comedy film directed by Edward Cahn. It was the 188th 'Our Gang' short (189th episode, 100th talking short, 101st talking episode, and 20th MGM produced episode) that was released.
Plot
The gang unintentionally wreaks havoc at the gala Hollywood premiere of the adventure epic 'Gun Boats'. Chased away by the angry authorities, the undaunted kids decide to stage their own movie premiereand they even film a movie for the occasion. Unfortunately, the gang's cinematic effort, entitled 'The Mysteeryus Mystery', is not as entertaining as the efforts by Buckwheat to remove his feet from a block of cement.
