<DIV><b>Toby Peters goes to Chicago to clear up a famous comic&rsquo;s gambling debts</b></div><DIV></div><DIV>There&rsquo;s nothing funny about the package that comes for Chico Marx. It&rsquo;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&rsquo;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.</div><DIV>&#160;</div><DIV>Peters&rsquo;s first lead is promising. Traveling on the studio&rsquo;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&rsquo;s mind has gone soft, and he doesn&rsquo;t know anything about Chico&rsquo;s bookie, but he suggests Peters speak to his brother. With Scarface&rsquo;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.</div>
