Good Cheer is a 1926 American short silent comedy film directed by Robert F. McGowan.[1][2] It was the 46th Our Gang short subject to be released.[3]
As described in a film magazine review,[4] the Gang is assembled in front of a big store window where a Santa Claus is doing his stuff. With the exception of two of the older members of the Gang who are entirely disillusioned as to the reality of the benevolent Old Man, the rest of the youngsters are very much impressed by the performance. The store window curtain is then pulled down but after a few minutes accidentally flies up to disclose a fake Santa Claus. The children disperse, muttering "There ain't no Santa Claus." However, Mickey and his pal decide to attempt to restore the faith of their friends but are hampered by a lack of funds. They then hit on the scheme of selling hot bricks to all who happen to be out in a terrific snow storm and manage to obtain a pocket full of money. Christmas presents are manufactured and they start on a midnight trip to visit various chimneys. At the same time a big bootlegging plot is being carried out and the conspirators are all disguised in Santa Clause costumes. The Gang assists in the capture of the crooks and everything turns out well for them.
