The story

Information about the plot of Humor Risk is sparse. According to Kyle Crichton's 1951 biography of the Brothers, Harpo played Watson, the hero and romantic lead who "made his entrance in a high hat, sliding down a coal chute into the basement." Groucho played the villain, who in the finale was shown "in ball and chain, trudging slowly off into the gloaming." In his book Monkey Business, Simon Louvish claims Harpo's character was a detective.
