β¦ Synopsis
Groucho and his writer Frank Denby have made a name for themselves as detectives. However, both men play down their sleuthing abilities, and to escape their new reputation, Groucho agrees to perform in a Broadway play, and Frank accompanies his wife on a business trip. When Groucho learns that Frank and Jane are going to New York via train, he decides to join them, figuring it will be a nice relaxing journey.
However, murder and mayhem follow them across the country. On the train they meet Dian Bowers, the newest star of Daniel Manheim, a domineering Hollywood producer. A series of bizarre events unfolds on the train. When they arrive in New York, Groucho agrees to escort Dian to the premiere of her estranged husband's play, but the play never makes it into the second act because a body is discovered on stage. When Dian's husband becomes the prime suspect, Groucho and Frank once again find themselves playing detective.
