Buster Keaton worked on the film as a gag man. His career was on the downside and he was forced to work for scale. His complex and sometimes belabored gags (recalled in the book Groucho, Harpo, Chico and sometimes Zeppo) did not work well with the Marx Brothers' brand of humor, and was a source of friction between the comedian and the group.
