Synopsis

Porky and his pet ostrich, Lulu, are invited to perform on Broadway for $75 a week. Before they can arrive, however, they must travel by train, but the conductor refuses to allow Lulu on board. Porky sneaks her onto the train. Lulu escapes and causes chaos by eating a sleeping woman's wig, a boy's toy airplane, and a concertina. Porky attempts to hide her in a guitar case, but she escapes again when the conductor approaches, leading to both Porky and Lulu being thrown off the train. They then try to outrun the train using a hand cart and a cow.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 5

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.
