Synopsis

Set in the old West, the Dillon clan is terrorizing a small frontier town. Nell, a determined young woman (played by Christine McIntyre), and her handsome but somewhat clueless boyfriend, Elmer (Jock Mahoney), set off in search of assistance. At the same time, the bumbling cavalrymen known as the Stooges are causing trouble for their disciplined superior, Sergeant Mullins (Dick Wessel). As Mullins attempts to train the Stooges, his efforts backfire, leading to a confrontation with his commanding officer, Captain Daley (Emil Sitka). Daley informs Mullins about the Dillon clan's criminal activities and requests a team to drive them out of town. Without hesitation, Mullins volunteers the unsuspecting Stooges for the mission.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 14

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.
