Synopsis

The Stooges work as pest exterminators and attempt to generate business by secretly introducing vermin into a luxurious mansion where a party is taking place. They are subsequently hired to address the problem but must pose as guests in order to work undetected. During the party, they damage a piano and cause general chaos, but the hostess dismisses their behavior by claiming they are vaudeville comedians. As a result, they are invited to join the other guests on a fox hunt.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 14

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.
