Synopsis

This early silent slapstick comedy short follows the misadventures of Worldly, Coward, and Fool. The film humorously poses the question: what's more fun—fishing with worms or with dynamite? Three friends decide to try the latter for a real blast. Unfortunately, their dog Barbos is an enthusiastic fetch player. This time, however, the stick he chases is being used for blast fishing. Barbos sees people throwing a smoking stick into the water and dutifully returns it to his owners. The "unusual cross" begins when the owners attempt to outrun the dog, now carrying the dynamite.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 7

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.
