Synopsis

A wealthy businessman places an advertisement in the newspaper to marry off his college student daughter. The intriguing marriage ad catches the attention of a gangster gang hostile to the girl's father. The gangsters, posing as a wealthy businessman, demand the girl from her father. After some time, the young man marries the girl. The young vagabond, whom the gangsters used as bait for the wealthy father, is actually a kind-hearted person. After taking the girl, whom he was forced to marry under the gang's pressure, to the hotel, he leaves her there and flees. The girl is left as a hostage at the hotel. On the wedding night, she hands over the diamonds and pearls her husband gave her as a gift to the hotel owner in exchange for her debt. However, all the jewels are fake. The girl's father is informed by phone.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 12

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.

⚖️ Fell short of break-even — grossed 1.9× its budget

Why 2.5×?

Cinemas keep roughly half of every ticket sold, and a wide release’s marketing often costs about as much again as the film — so a movie needs to gross around 2.5× its production budget just to break even theatrically. It’s a rule of thumb, not the studio’s ledger (home video and streaming come later).
