The Cocoanuts

In the midst of the Florida land boom, Mr. Schlemmer is trying desperately to run Cococanut Manor and put the moves on the wealthy Mrs. Potter. When Mrs. Potter’s necklace disappears, the suspects are drawn from Silent Sam and Willie, two vagabonds intent on stealing the hotel’s silverware, and Bob Adams, a hotel clerk in love with Mrs. Potter’s daughter, Polly. The Cocoanuts was written as a vehicle for the Marx Brothers and features the classic “Why a Duck?” routine.
