Synopsis

Evil Roy Slade was orphaned and abandoned in the desert as an infant, growing up alone with only his teddy bear for company, which contributed to his development into a cruel and unforgiving individual. As an adult, he earns a reputation as the "meanest villain in the West." His life takes an unexpected turn when he falls in love with Betsy Potter, a kind and gentle schoolteacher. Meanwhile, railroad tycoon Nelson L. Stool, along with his dimwitted nephew Clifford (played by Henry Gibson), seeks revenge against Evil Roy Slade for a past robbery.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 19

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.
