Synopsis

W.C. Fields enters the Warner Bros. Studio. Beans attempts to drive in, but a guard throws him and his car against a tree. Charlie Chaplin drives in, followed by Oliver Hardy on foot—though it is actually Beans in disguise. Oliver Owl is directing a film, and Beans sneaks onto the set. Watching from a catwalk, he is knocked off by someone and lands in the middle of the scene. Beans is thrown off the set and lands in the middle of a Frankenstein movie set. He accidentally brings the robotic monster to life, and it crashes into the original studio, destroying the camera. Beans tries to stop the monster but is sent flying. He lands against a wind machine, which chops up the monster.

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.
