Young Sherlocks is a 1922 silent short subject, the fourth entry in Hal Roach's Our Gang (Little Rascals) series. Directed by Robert F. McGowan and Tom McNamara, the two-reel short was released to theaters in November 1922 by Pathé. Ernie stumbles into the secret headquarters of the J.J.J.'s (the Jesse James Juniors), and spins a tale in which he and Jackie save rich girl Mary Jane from a gang of kidnappers. The members of the JJJ’s wear white sheets, similar to the KKK. There is a blooper in the scene where Ernie says that he became Mayor and Jackie became Chief of Police. The sign at the edge of town says that Mickey is Chief of Police, not Jackie. less
