What it’s about. It's the Fourth of July and the mother of Our Gang member Joe Cobb is doing a brisk business at her fireworks stand. Briefly left in charge of the stand, Joe does his best not to blow up himself or his friends, but a poorly-aimed skyrocket owned by Allen "Farina" Hoskins triggers a somewhat premature but undeniably spectacular display of pyrotechnics.
Who’s in it. The Glorious Fourth stars Harry Arras as Local Resident, Charles A. Bachman as Officer, Harry Bowen as Pedestrian and Charley Chase as Top Hat Inebriate, among others.
