    Charlie Chan at the Opera (1936)

    Gravelle (Boris Karloff), a former baritone believed dead after an opera house fire, has been languishing in a mental institution for the past seven years, an anonymous amnesiac. When he fortuitously sees a news story about his former wife's current appearance at the local opera, his memory returns. He escapes, and, disguised in costume, seeks revenge for a failed attempt on his life years earlier. When the guilty parties are found stabbed to death, Charlie Chan (Warner Oland) and son Lee (Keye Luke) try to find out if the dangerous fugitive is the one responsible.

    Horse Feathers (1932)

    Professor Quincy Adams Wagstaff (Groucho Marx) has just been installed as the new president of Huxley College. His cavalier attitude toward education is not reserved for his son Frank (Zeppo Marx), who is seeing the college widow, Connie Bailey (Thelma Todd). 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 (Chico and Harpo Marx). 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.
