Silent two-reeler.
Probable opening title: '"Our Gang" Comedies - Hal Roach presents His Rascals in "One Terrible Day".' This is the way it appears on the lobby poster. The film itself may have read '"Our Gang" Comedy' or '"Our Gang" Series.'

THE CREW:
Produced by Hal Roach
Probably credited in the film as a presenter.
Supervised by Charles Parrott
Better known as Charley Chase. This credit is probably included in the film. Parrott was director-general of all of the studio's output during this period.
Directed by Robert F. McGowan and Tom McNamara
This credit probably appears in the film, but without McGowan's middle initial.
Titles by H. M. Walker and Tom McNamara
This credit probably appears in the film, but it might not include McNamara's name.
Story by Hal E. Roach and Tom McNamara
This credit probably doesn't appear in the film.
Released by Pathé Exchange, Inc.
Passed by the National Board of Review
Probably indicated in the film.
THE CAST:
Ernie "Sunshine Sammy" Morrison
Featured role. Maltin & Bann indicate that the "Booker T." moniker was used. A reviewer in Moving Picture World, however, was still referring to him as "Sunshine Sammy" when reviewing this film. He gets plenty to do in the film, and was still pretty much the star of the series, though the other kids were catching up.
Mickey Daniels as "Mickey Daniels"
Featured role. Mickey is given significant screen time in this short, and had already established himself as one of the prime players. His name is revealed on an invitation seen in the 9.5mm print.
Jackie Condon
Supporting role. Jackie gets plenty of business in this film, and was still one of the featured kids. The 9.5mm copy calls him "Jackie," but it isn't an original inter-title.
Allen "Farina" Hoskins as "Farina"
Supporting role. He gets more to do in this film than in his earlier appearances. The 9.5mm copy refers to him as 'her,' but it isn't an original inter-title.
Peggy Cartwright
Supporting role. She apparently lives on the farm, but only makes a couple of brief appearances in this print. Ernie addresses her as "Sis." The 9.5mm print calls her "Molly May," but the inter-titles are not original.
Jack Davis
Supporting role. Jack mainly does ensemble acting in this film, but he's there the whole time.
Winston and Weston Doty
Supporting roles. These identical twins do everything in unison. Otherwise, they mostly do ensemble work.
Other Kids:
Supporting role. The only remaining kid is the tall boy in the Harold Lloyd glasses. I think the implication is that Jackie is his younger brother. He gets plenty of screentime, but doesn't seem to have returned to this series. He resembles one of the boys in "Penrod And Sam." I think he might be Joe Butterworth, who played Sam.
The Animals:
monkey 004
Featured role. This is the society matron's monkey, which is seen pretty much throughout the film.
dog 003
Supporting role. This is Jackie's dog and he stands in for dog 001 as the main dog in this film.
pony 001
Supporting role. This is the pony that pushes Jackie into the fountain, and later retrieves the boys' clothes for them. She's given the name "Lady Diamond" in the 9.5mm footage.
Dinah the Mule
Small part. Not listed by Maltin & Bann, she's the mule ridden by Peggy in this film.
