Synopsis

Arbuckle arrives in the western town of Mad Dog Gulch after being thrown off a train and pursued by Indians. He joins forces with gambler and saloon owner Bill Bullhum in an effort to keep the villainous Wild Bill Hickup from reaching Salvation Army worker Salvation Sue. Arbuckle and Bullhum go through a series of adventures attempting to outwit St. John, eventually discovering his one vulnerability: his ticklishness.

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.
