This is - I think - the second film with the Marx Brothers. Not all of them as Gummo is missing but he never acted on film, more than in a more or less documentary one.
During the land boom in Florida, Groucho becomes the owner of a hotel and this hotel is frequented by - among others - Harpo and Chico and this in combination with the auction of some land, a jewel robbery and a lot of door closing- and -opening, makes it a rather typical Marx film.
It's by no means their best but already in this oeuvre one can see the seeds to their later master pieces.
I highly appreciate the Marx Brothers and a lot of their jokes are 'still going strong'!
In the photo below we see, from left to right: Groucho, Gummo, Minnie (mother), Zeppo, Frenchy (father), Chico and Harpo.
