Synopsis

After marauding and sinking another ship, a band of pirates capture a female passenger and send her overboard as punishment for her defiance. She vows revenge and is fortunately rescued by a small passing ship carrying only its captain, his first mate, and a cat. They cross paths with the pirates, but both sides—after seeming to have victory within their grasp—meet a fate neither could have predicted. Preserved by the Academy Film Archive in 2008.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 9

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.
