Harpo's slapstick can be amusing, but he's not my favorite of the brothers. Groucho spouts one-liners the way most people breathe. When the Marx Brothers are at their best, as they are here, the jokes fly fast and funny. It's not a complicated plot, but it does provide a structure for the brothers to do their schtick. After the daughter is kidnapped by the rival gangster, the brothers have to rescue her. The final act of the film takes place at the house of one of the gangsters where he's holding a party for his daughter. There's the vaguest plot where the brothers get involved with two different competing gangsters and improbably end up hired as bodyguards to both of them. The Captain and the crew chase them around and the brothers experience comic adventures along the way, both alone and in various combinations. The longest portion of the film simply involves their antics on the ship.
