Synopsis

The Stooges brew a batch of homemade beer, but they are arrested when Curly sells some to a police officer. Their minor offense escalates to a forty-year prison sentence when a keg of beer hidden under Curly's coat explodes during a photograph session. While in prison, the Stooges cause further trouble with the warden and end up on the rockpile when they attempt to escape. After being released as elderly men with long gray beards, the first thing Curly desires is a bottle of beer.

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.
