Synopsis:

After two sailors are conned into buying a lame race-horse, they go ashore to sort out the problem, but when they realise that the horse is one of a pair of identical twins, their plan for revenge becomes more complicated.

Chester Erskine scripted and directed the story [from They Sell Sailors Elephants by Frederick Hazlitt Brennan] about two sailors who, during their 20 years of service, have spent plenty of time in the brig for escapades. As plot opens Marx and Bendix are again in hot water, latter having taken a small inheritance and purchased a broken-down racehorse. Marx is detailed to return the horse and recoup Bendix's money, but the seller (Don DeFore), has broken up his stable at the behest of his fiancee (Dee Hartford). Wilson, a gorgeous carhop, enters the plot when boys discover she owns the twin of their horse and it is sound of limb. Some race-rigging and plenty of other shenanigans crowd the footage. Marx's wisecracking dialog and antics help the pace. Wilson, less of the dumb Dora than usual, shows to advantage, and Bendix comes over excellently.

A Girl in Every Port is a 1952 comedy film about two sailors who buy a racehorse. It was based on the short story They Sell Sailors Elephants by Frederick Hazlitt Brennan.
