Synopsis

Donald, a gas station owner, believes he has just missed the winning number for a new Zoom V8 car. However, his nephews hear a correction and discover that Donald actually has the winning ticket. Excited, they plan to surprise him by picking up the car. Unfortunately, the car they take runs out of gas, and they are unable to afford more. To solve the problem, they cut out a picture of a Zoom V8 from a billboard, dress one of the boys in drag, and trick Donald into filling their tank. As they drive off, Donald, feeling wronged, plots his revenge and carries it out when the boys return in his new car.

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.
