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 premiere—and 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.[1]
