Sunday Calm is a 1923 short silent comedy film directed by Robert F. McGowan.[1][2] It was the 20th Our Gang short subject released.

Plot

The gang travels by wagon to go on a picnic with their families. After the cart loses a wheel, the parents replace it, only to be left behind when the horse bolts with the wagon and the gang. Arriving in the woods, the gang run wild until their parents catch up with them. A storm interrupts the picnic, after which the horse bolts again, this time leaving everybody behind.
