Synopsis

Trapped in Mexico and in need of work, the Stooges are helped by a pretty actress friend who secures them a gig at the Plaza de Toros. After accidentally switching suitcases with hers, they sneak into her home to retrieve theirs, only to be discovered by her jealous husband, who threatens to kill them if he sees them again. At the arena, where they perform a comedic bullfight—Joe playing the matador and Moe and Larry in a bull costume—the husband bribes the attendants to release a real bull into the ring. Joe defeats the bull with a headbutt, becoming an unexpected hero.

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.
