This clip is odd for a couple of reasons: It's been colorized and the dialogue is in German! However, the important part--Alfalfa singing Let Me Call You Sweetheart--is in English. This is from the episode Hearts Are Thumps (1937) in which Alfalfa's buddies, angry that he has betrayed the principles of the He-Man Woman-Haters Club, sabotage his lunch with soap.

Carl (Alfalfa) Switzer was shot to death in 1959 in a dispute about a $50 debt. He was 31. Darla Hood died in 1979 of hepatitis she contracted while she was in a hospital recovering from a minor operation. She was 47.
Naomi: I recently read an interesting article about the Little Rascals/Our gang kids. It debunks the notion that many of them died disproportionately young. As many of them lived to old age as any other random group of people.
