Synopsis

This film is one of Larry Semon's pro-war films. In it, Semon plays a clumsy man working in a restaurant, where oddly, both the staff and many of the customers are spies loyal to the Kaiser. Their base of operations in a California restaurant is unexplained, but their goal is to steal plans from an elderly man and his daughter. When Semon discovers their plot, he steps in to stop them.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 11

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.
