Synopsis

Scat Sweeney and Hot Lips Barton, two unemployed musicians, stow away on a ship heading to Rio after accidentally burning down the big top of a circus. Onboard, they become entangled with Lucia, a woman who initially expresses gratitude toward them but later turns them in to the ship's captain. As it turns out, Lucia has been hypnotized into entering a marriage of convenience, set to take place when the ship arrives in Rio. Determined to stop the wedding and expose the criminals involved, Sweeney and Barton attend the ceremony to intervene.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 17

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.
