Sigmund, Falling Up! is the definitive story of the life and work of Sigmund Freud, as told by Zeppo Marx.
A post-modern Jules Verne novel transmuted to an unseen Marx Brothers film.
Sigmund is off with Madame Sophie Blanchard in her fabulous hot air balloon stuffed with fireworks, and Sigmund, who is reluctant only to speak of his own mother. In the mean-time, Carl Gustav Jung has taken to a Zeppelin in a bid to outmaneuver Sigmund while Alfred Adler, father of the inferiority complex, has stationed himself as a broadcaster in order to take to the air himself.
The trip exposes them to trains, bears, magic, and the tradition of military camp, in order to meet an automatonic doctor named Eliza.
