Road to Rio

Take a New Year Cruise to Rio with the Screen's Top Laughter Trio!

Directed by Norman Z. McLeod

Produced by Hope Enterprises, Paramount Pictures

A lighthearted buddy-comedy adventure built on slapstick mishaps, musical numbers, and the camaraderie of two lovable rogues helping a woman escape a hypnotic scheme.

Scat Sweeney and Hot Lips Barton, two out of work musicians, stow away onboard a ship bound for Rio, after accidentally setting fire to the big top of a circus. They then get mixed up with a potential suicide Lucia, who first thanks them, then unexpectedly turns them over to the ship's captain. When they find out that she has been hypnotized, to go through a marriage of convenience, when the ship reaches Rio, the boys turn up at the ceremony, in order to stop the wedding, and to help catch the crooks.
