Robot Wrecks
Synopsis
Spanky and the gang witness a demonstration of a "human-like" robot named Volto and decide to build their own to handle their chores. Slicker Walburn convinces them they need "invisible rays" to animate it, which he just happens to have for sale. As the others rush to gather money, Slicker enlists Boxcar Smith to wear the robot's outer shell, so it appears that he is the one bringing it to life. The gang successfully uses the robot to mow the lawn at Froggy's house, but when Slicker sends a signal, Boxcar goes out of control and mows down everything in his path. Froggy explains the situation to his parents, who confront the fraud and force the miscreants to help the gang clean up the mess.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 15
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.
