Itinerant director making "Gang Comedies" for decades

This is the story of Melton Barker, an itinerant filmmaker who convinced adults and children that he was making "Gang Comedies." Undoubtedly, many of the children in his films believed they were making "Our Gang Comedies" and Barker could be responsible for many of these children's claims in adulthood as having been in The Little Rascals.

Barker's story, and rare knockoff footage of his "Gang Comedies," is at this link...

Really cool.

Mentioned some time ago the gent who claimed he played Wheezer in a regional production of 'Our Gang.' I wonder if this is who he worked with.
