Spanky's grandmother:
[ the Grandma is watching from the stage wing as Spanky is being hooked and dragged off from a pole from behind the back curtain by her Daughter,his Mother. The MC is checking both sides of the back curtain watching Spanky get pulled off and watching his Mother drag him off he is equally laughing at both sides. The Grandma sees an chance to raise the back curtain exposing Spanky's Mother to the theater audience and make her daughter join the act reluctantly. She turns to the MC and points to the back stage curtain ropes and says ] Here's where we stop the show!

Master of Ceremonies:

Spanky's grandmother:
[ The older woman starts to pull down on the ropes and we see a hook dangling off the bottom of the stage curtain and as it moves up it's headed towards Spanky's mother 's dress hem. Grandma sees the hook and can't believe her luck and the bad luck of Spanky's mother .She will really put a show stopping element to this kiddie talent show something that Spanky's Mother or anyone else will soon forget] Looks Like I've hooked a big one !

Master of Ceremonies:
[the MC can't believe it the audience is in near hysterics in just seeing the younger woman behind the curtain . He turns towards the old lady ] Better reel it in quick but not too quick I'm really enjoying this.

Spanky's mother:
[Spanky's mom is trying to pull him in and she doesn't know there is a hook about to snag her dress hem on a rising curtain. She starts to feel the tugging in the back and puts her hands on the back of her dress and feels the hook. She lets out a loud SCHRREEECH! an d looks over to see whose pulling on that curtain thinking it's probably the MC. She stands up and seems to end the hiking stage curtain as her dress hem is around her waste . She sees the Grandma getting ready with all her might to pull down on the curtain. Spanky's Mother starts to plead] NO ! NO ! PLEASE PLEASE NO!

Spanky's grandmother:
[the MC is looking on with his eyes open like saucers watching the goings on. The Grandma pulls down with all her force. The audience is in near bedlum watching Spanky's Mother standing there with her dress up to her waist. The Granny says ] Here we go ! [ and pulls down on the ropes and Spanky's mother 's dress rips off her with a mighty tearing noise. The younger woman is thrown to the floor stairing up at her tattered dress in the rafters ]

Spanky:
[ Spanky gets to his feet in time to see his Mom 's dress yanked off her , he says ] Don't worry Mom I'll save you. [ As he pulls the stage prop up in front of his stripped Mother and save her from the eyes of the audience ]

    This is fantasy. How about some reality. Bible John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son; that whosoever believeth on Him (received Jesus into their heart as Savior), should not perish but have eternal life."

      While it's true those things weren't actually said, for many it captures the spirit of the film. Many see "Beginner's Luck" as simple slapstick comedy. For many others, though, there's an erotic undertone to the entire film. Once you start seeing the sexual aspects, it's hard to believe it wasn't the intent of the filmmakers right from the start.
