A destitute man struggles to find food as he is joined by a young waif and her dog, both also facing hardship. At the same time, a dishonest lawyer collaborates with a group of criminals to defraud an innocent young heiress of her inheritance. While returning home from a meeting with the lawyer, the heiress observes the man and the waif dealing with trouble from the authorities and decides to help them. Eventually, the young man finds an unexpected chance to repay the heiress for her kindness.

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.
