Synopsis

The Stooges are icemen who, while delivering ice to a house atop a high hill, accidentally destroy several cakes that a wealthy man is attempting to transport home. Their mischievous behavior causes the servants at their customer's house to resign, leading to the Stooges being hired to take their place and help prepare a dinner party. Unbeknownst to them, the party is for the very man whose cakes they had ruined. When Moe's gas-filled cake explodes and the man recognizes them, the Stooges are forced to flee quickly.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 15

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
