Plot
Confined to a neck brace, poor little rich boy Dickie would like to play with the neighborhood kids, but his overprotective mother will not let him. On the sly, however, Dickie sneaks out of his bedroom in search of adventure in the company of his best pal, Stymie. Purchasing a ride on the donkey-driven "taxicab" piloted by Breezy Brisbane, the boys, along with hitchhikers Spanky and Jacquie Lyn, experience enough thrills and excitement to last a lifetime when the taxi begins rolling down a steep hill minus brakes.

Note
Free Wheeling was edited by a couple minutes on the syndicated Little Rascals television packages due to perceived racism toward African Americans in 1971. The film was restored on AMC airing from 2001 to 2003. The "free wheeling" downhill scenes involving the runaway car were filmed on Outpost Drive in Hollywood, California.
