Sinopsis
Un imaginario país en bancarrota requiere el apoyo económico de una acaudalada viuda (Margaret Dumont) para salir adelante. Como condición para extender el financiamiento, la acreedora exige que el excéntrico Rufus T. Firefly (Groucho Marx) tome las riendas de la nación. Deseando sacar partida de la crisis, el ambicioso embajador de una potencia vecina (Louis Calhern) hará cuanto sea posible para desprestigiar al nuevo líder y para ello echará mano de dos inusuales espías (Harpo y Chico Marx).
