What they did to delay the opera is nothing compared to the riotous stuff pulled to stall the race. Jones has both Chico and Harpo as his sidekicks and of course like they had to save the opera in the first film, they have to save the sanitarium for Maureen O'Sullivan and to do it, they have to enter Jones's horse High Hat in the Steeplechase. But there are two schools of thoughts as to who had the best character names in films. Dumont will help out, but only if her personal physician, Doctor Hugo Hackenbush takes over the sanitarium. Douglass Dumbrille wants it real bad and will do everything in the best Snidely Whiplash to get it from O'Sullivan. Allan's in love with Maureen O'Sullivan who owns a sanitarium that the wealthy Margaret Dumont patronizes. And of course unlike Zeppo, Jones sings beautifully. Jones is once again doing the Zeppo part and helps out with all the racetrack shenanigans they pull. When MGM had such a great success with A Night at the Opera, their first film with the Marx Brothers it was only natural that they reunite them with Allan Jones again.
