...Rufus T. Firefly, the President of Fredonia; his slogan, an eerie anticipation of Proposition 13, is "Whatever it is, I'm against it." Chico and Harpo are spies for Sylvania, a rival power. (Chico also enjoys a brief stint as a Public Nusiance in Groucho's cabinet). Margaret Dumont is a rich widow who is quite literally Groucho's biggest backer.

The couples reunite at the upriver Honeymoon Inn, where the explanations get hot, long and sticky, tempers get short, and the fun gets frantic. Among the funsters is a voice teacher (Travis Hudson) who resembles Margaret Dumont of Marx Bros, film renown...
