Cousin Wilbur is a 1939 Our Gang short comedy film directed by George Sidney. It was the 179th Our Gang short to be released.
Plot Despite his initial reluctance, Alfalfa invites his cousin Wilbur to join the All 4 One Club. Wilbur quickly boosts membership by offering cash compensation (usually a penny or two) for every black eye and bruised nose inflicted by Butch and Woim. When two tough guys attempt to intimidate the club, Wilbur surprises everyone by proving himself to be the best bare-knuckle fighter in the neighborhood.
Notes This episode marked the return of Scotty Beckett, who was Spanky's sidekick from 1934 to 1935. Alfalfa, who joined the gang several months before Beckett left, replaced him at the end of that year. Beckett now returned as Alfalfa's nerdy cousin, replete the horn-rimmed glasses.
