Synopsis

Alfalfa and Spanky conspire to skip school in order to go fishing, devising a plan in which Alfalfa pretends to be ill and Spanky must stay with him while their parents are away. However, Spanky's mother, aware of their scheme, outsmarts them by requiring them to also look after Spanky's younger brother. The responsibility of caring for the child proves to be more challenging than they anticipated.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 10

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.
