馬克思兄弟的喜劇表演團體,藉有聲銀幕展現音樂和喜劇天分,但他們毫不留情、不分善惡的惡整嘲弄風格,卻被米高梅製作總監艾文托柏認為缺乏同理心。自《歌劇院之夜》起,他們轉而將整人的喜劇效果專門運用在反派身上。
A sly business manager Driftwood convinces his client to invest in an opera company owned by a snobbish director Gottlieb. Backstage, the arrival of arrogant tenor Lassparri creates a disadvantage for chorister Ricardo in his pursuit of soprano Rosa, and an opportunity on stage. Through a series of misunderstandings, Driftwood and the wacky friends of Ricardo are about to stir up chaos to humiliate their high-hat enemies.
