The Buccaneers is a 1924 short silent comedy film directed by Robert F. McGowan.[1][2] It was the 23rd Our Gang short subject released.

Plot

The gang decides to be pirates and build a boat, which sinks immediately upon launching. The boys blame Mary because she is a girl. Friendly sea captain, Capt. Whelan, tells her she can play pirate on his fishing boat and the boys join her. Their boat accidentally gets set free of her moorings and the gang has adventures on the “high seas” of the harbor, until they are boarded by the U.S. Navy.

Notes

When the television rights for the original silent Pathé Our Gang comedies were sold to National Telepix and other distributors, several episodes were retitled. This film was released into TV syndication as Mischief Makers in 1960 under the title The Pirates. About two-thirds of the original film was included. Deleted from the TV episode include the introduction sequences for Mary Kornman and Earl Mohan, Ernie Morrison and Allen Hoskins, and the scene where Ernie and Farina first arrive on the dock with the other Our Gang kids.
