  • "The most chaotic of the Marx Brothers films is a wildly disorganised parody of academic life which broadens the area of attack to include sport, love and the Depression. Groucho is president of Huxley College where none of the students appears to be under thirty five. The chief subjects on the curriculum seem to be football, sex and the art of delivering puns."@en

  • ""Professor Quincy Adams Wagstaff takes over as president of Huxley College in order to help his son Frank graduate, as he has been attending Huxley for twelve years. Wagstaff's inaugural speech is incoherent, and at one point, he bursts into song, after calling attention to Frank, who is sitting among the students with a girl on his lap. After the song and speech, Wagstaff admonishes his son for dating only one college 'widow' in twelve years, whereas he himself dated three college widows and attended three different colleges in twelve years. Frank tells his father that Huxley has had a new college president every year since 1888, which is also the last year the school won a football game. Frank insists that the college needs a good football team to beat the opposing team from Darwin University, and informs his father that he can buy two football players at a speakeasy downtown. At the speakeasy, Jennings, a representative of Darwin, buys the two athletes. Wagstaff arrives and gains admission to the speakeasy through repartee with Baravelli the iceman and bootlegger. Pinky, who is Baravelli's mute partner as well as a dog catcher, gets into the club and makes a nuisance of himself. Wagstaff mistakes the two men for football players and hires them for the big game against Darwin, then signs them on as students at Huxley. Jennings goes to see Connie Bailey, Frank's college widow with whom he is in cahoots, and tells her to get the football plays from Frank. He leaves and Frank arrives, after which Wagstaff arrives to convince Connie to give up Frank. Pinky and Baravelli, meanwhile, try to deliver ice several times to Connie's house but continually drop the ice blocks out of the window. Wagstaff discovers he hired the wrong athletes and tells Pinky and Baravelli to kidnap the real athletes. Meanwhile, Jennings buys the football signals from Baravelli but discovers they are the wrong signals. Connie then steals the signals from Wagstaff by attempting to seduce him. Meanwhile, Baravelli and Pinky try to kidnap the athletes but wind up trapped in an apartment. They saw their way through the floor in time to rush to the field and eventually increase Huxley's score through their antics. In the end, Huxley wins, and Baravelli, Pinky and Wagstaff all marry Connie"--AFI catalog, 1931-1940."@en
  • "The quintessential Marx Brothers comedy. Groucho, Harpo, Chico, and Zeppo are at their manic peak in this uproariously anarchic parody of college life. As the fun-loving president of Huxley College, Groucho tries to keep the student body in line while attempting to keep his own body near a flirtatious floozie who is secretly trying to rig the big football game between Huxley and arch rival Darwin University."@en

  • "A college needs to win the football game with rival Huxley University and its corrupt new president knows just how to do it. Features a kaleidoscope of the Marx Brothers high jinks and irreverance with musical interludes."

  • "Der Inbegriff aller Marx Brothers-Komödien: In dieser unwiderstehlich witzigen, anarchischen Parodie auf das College-Leben sehen wir Groucho, Harpo, Chico und sogar Zeppo auf dem Höhepunkt ihres Schaffens. Als lebenslustiger Präsident des Huxley-Collage versucht Groucho, seine Studenten unter Kontrolle zu behalten und dabei gleichzeitig einem flirtfreudigen Flittchen (Thelma Todd), das heimlich versucht, das grosse Football-Spiel zwischen Huxley und dem Erzrivalen Darwin University zu sabotieren, näher zu kommen. (Quelle: Umschlag)."

His cavalier attitude toward education is not reserved for his son Frank, who is seeing the college widow, Connie Bailey. Frank influences Wagstaff to recruit two football players who hang out in a speakeasy, in order to beat rival school Darwin. Unfortunately, Wagstaff mistakenly hires the misfits Baravelli and Pinky. Finding out that Darwin has beaten him to the "real" players, Wagstaff enlists Baravelli and Pinky to kidnap them, which leads to an anarchic football finale."
