Synopsis

Curly wins $50,000 in a radio contest, and the Stooges move into the Hotel Costa Plente. Their suite is furnished with many expensive items, which they systematically wreck, running up a large bill. When they discover that, after tax deductions, the jackpot is only $4.85, they quickly agree to marry three wealthy widows also staying at the hotel. The "widows" are actually gold diggers trying to get the jackpot money. When the women find out the true value of the prize, the Stooges are hit with champagne bottles.

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.
