Free Wheeling is a 1932 Our Gang short comedy film directed by Robert F. McGowan. It was the 117th Our Gang short to be released.
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 few minutes on the syndicated Little Rascals television packages in 1971 due to its racism toward African Americans. The film was restored on AMC airing from 2001 to 2003.
Filming Locations
Some of the "free wheeling" downhill scenes involving the runaway car were filmed on Outpost Drive in Hollywood, California.
The hill the taxi runs down at the end of the film is located on Overland Avenue north of Rose Avenue in the Palms neighborhood of Los Angeles.
The final scene where the taxi runs into the haystack was filmed on the site at present-day 3300 Overland Avenue.
