Toby Peters goes to Chicago to clear up a famous comic'€™s gambling debtsThere'€™s nothing funny about the package that comes for Chico Marx. It'€™s a severed ear, a simple message from a Chicago bookie who wants $120,000 from the world-renown Marx brother. The strange thing is that, though Chico likes to gamble, he hasn'€™t been making bets in Chicago. Terrified, he goes to the studio for help. Louis B. Mayer, king of Hollywood, places a call to Toby Peters. Peters'€™s first lead is promising. Traveling on the studio'€™s dime, he makes his way to Florida where he gets an interview with Al Capone, deposed lord of the Chicago underworld. The retired bootlegger'€™s mind has gone soft, and he doesn'€™t know anything about Chico'€™s bookie, but he suggests Peters speak to his brother. With Scarface'€™s good word as an introduction, Peters goes to Chicago, where it will take more than a good sense of humor to keep the Marxes from getting axed.
