Corrected entry: After Chico has shammed Groucho for a while at the races, he bets six dollars on Sun Up. However, at that point he has sold Groucho the name of the horse (in code), the code book, the master code book, and the breeder's guide, all for a dollar each. He was broke when he started; how did he get the extra two dollars?

Directed by: Sam Wood
Starring: Chico Marx, Groucho Marx, Harpo Marx, The Marx Brothers, Allan Jones
Continuity mistake: In front of the betting windows, Chico sells Groucho the code books and master code books, then tells him he needs the entire set of Breeder's Guide books. Groucho pulls out his money and said "Give me all four", but Chico hands him five books.
Dr. Hackenbush: It's the old, old story. Boy meets girl - Romeo and Juliet - Minneapolis and St. Paul.

Correction: Actually, the last thing he sold Groucho was an entire volume of books for a dollar each. His total was more like $11 by then. I was wondering why he only bet $6 when he had more than that from Groucho.
