Plot
When Our Gang member Mickey Daniels goes to the hospital to have his tonsils removed, the rest of the kids decide to pay him a visit. Sure enough, the youngsters cause all sorts of mischief for the hospital staff and the other patients, invading the sanctity of the x-ray room and the operating theater, among other places. Highlights include little Allen "Farina" Hoskins' x-ray examination (revealing a stomach full of such indigestibles as nails, wire and safety pins), Mickey's strenuous efforts to avoid his hourly dose of castor oil, and a lengthy slow-motion sequence as the gang succumbs to the mirthful side effects of nitrous oxide, aka laughing gas. No Noise was originally released on September 23, 1923. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
