Synopsis

The Stooges are traveling salesmen stranded in Valeska, a tropical country prone to earthquakes. After failing to sell fur coats to the locals, they are arrested when they receive a telegram instructing them to "get rid of present wardrobe," which an official misinterprets as a plot to assassinate President Ward Robey. With the help of Rita, a beautiful revolutionary, the boys escape a firing squad and are assigned a mission to deliver important plans to the revolutionary leader. When they mistakenly deliver a rolled-up calendar, they face another firing squad but are spared when Rita arrives with the real plans.

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.

Craft leads on file
