This was the Marx Brothers' first movie (if you don't count "Humor Risk") and was one of the earliest sound films ever made. Groucho plays Mr. Hammer, a Florida hotel owner during the Florida land boom in the 1920's, desperately trying to unload real estate on unsuspecting buyers. Zeppo is the desk clerk (Jamison), Chico is an "idle roomer" and Harpo is his "silent partner." Hammer takes on Chico as his shill to try to up the price of his questionable real estate (prompting the famous “Why a Duck?” scene), and various guests try to swindle one another for various reasons.
