==Plot== It seems that Mickey is upset over the fact that his parents spend every Monday night arguing. The reason: Mickey's mother invariably serves hash made from the Sunday-dinner leftovers, and Mickey's father hates hash. To teach the two adults a lesson, the Our Gang kids stage a skit on a local radio program, ending with a heartfelt plea by Mickey to stop the quarrelling.<ref name="NY Times">{{cite web |url=https://movies.nytimes.com/movie/226198/All-About-Hash/overview |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110520201850/http://movies.nytimes.com/movie/226198/All-About-Hash/overview |url-status=dead |archive-date=2011-05-20 |department=Movies & TV Dept. |work=The New York Times |author=Hal Erickson |title=New York Times: All-About-Hash|author-link=Hal Erickson (author) |date=2011 |accessdate=2008-10-08}}</ref>
