Kiddie Kure is a 1940 American short comedy film directed by Edward Cahn. It was the 194th Our Gang short (195th episode, 106th talking short, 107th talking episode, and 26th MGM produced episode) that was released.

Plot

While playing baseball near the home of wealthy hypochondriac Mr. Morton, the gang inadvertently breaks one of Morton's windows. This mishap coincides with a plan hatched by Morton's wife to get her husband's mind off his imaginary illnesses by adopting some children.

Hoping to prove that he would be an unsuitable parent, Morton pretends that he is crazy, the better to scare away the gang and to dissuade Mrs. Morton from her adoption scheme. Instead, the kids prove to Morton that he does not need all his pills and poultices, thereby giving the old man a new lease on life and a better appreciation of children.

The film was a slight reworking of Second Childhood, which starred much of the same cast. It also marked the final appearance of Carl "Alfalfa" Switzer. At 12 years of age, he was the oldest member of the cast.
