Synopsis

Set during Prohibition, the story follows a group of friends who end up in prison after Stan sells some of their homemade beer to a policeman. While incarcerated, Stan's loose tooth causes repeated trouble, as it makes it sound like he's giving others a raspberry. However, this quirk earns him the respect of The Tiger, a tough inmate. When The Tiger attempts an escape, the boys manage to slip away with him. They disguise themselves in blackface and take refuge on a cotton plantation, but are soon discovered and recaptured by the warden. Back in prison, they are caught in the crossfire of a chaotic battle between the state militia and armed prisoners during The Tiger's second escape attempt.

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.
