Harpo played the hero, a detective named Watson who "made his entrance in a high hat, sliding down a coal chute into the basement". Groucho played an "old movie" villain, who "sported a long moustache and was clad in black", while Chico was probably his "chuckling [Italian] henchman". Zeppo portrayed a playboy who was the owner of a nightclub in which most of the action took place, including "a cabaret, [which allowed] the inclusion of a dance number". The final shot showed Groucho "in ball and chain, trudging slowly off into the gloaming". Harpo, in a rare moment of romantic glory, gets the girl in the end. This film is lost.

The four Marx Brothers, of vaudeville fame, have made their cinema debut. Julius, Arthur, Leonard and Herbert are the Marx Brother’s Christian names, and are being featured in a series called “Comedies sans Custard”. The first comedy is called “Humor Risk”.
