Humor Risk

Harpo took on the heroic role of detective Watson, making a memorable entrance in a high hat as he slid down a coal chute into the basement. Groucho appeared as an "old movie" style villain, distinguished by a long moustache and black attire, while Chico likely played his chuckling Italian henchman. Zeppo portrayed a playboy nightclub owner, with most of the story unfolding in his club, including a cabaret sequence that permitted the inclusion of a dance number. In the final shot, Groucho is seen in ball and chain, slowly trudging off into the gloaming. In a rare romantic triumph, Harpo wins the girl at the end. This film is lost.
