Waldo's Last Stand is a 1940 Our Gang short comedy film directed by Edward Cahn. It was the 193rd Our Gang short to be released.
Plot
The gang offers to help Waldo attract customers to his lemonade stand which is doing poor business. Redecorating their barn as a lavish nightclub, the kids stage an elaborate floor show, with Darla as the star vocalist. Unfortunately, their efforts attract only one patron—a surly, stone-faced new kid named Froggy. Spanky and the others try to persuade Froggy to buy a drink, even going as far as singing an impromptu song about dryness and thirst, but to no avail. The kids then come up with an idea: to put a heater under Froggy which would heat him up and force him to buy a drink. When Spanky asks Froggy why he would not buy a drink, Froggy responds that he does not have any money and that it is too hot in the barn. The gang realizes that no one other than Froggy showed up for the show because all the other neighborhood kids were either participant in the show or somehow connected with its production.Cast
