Synopsis

A young clerk loses her account book. It is found by a young unemployed man with whom the clerk falls in love. The young man answers a classified advertisement and starts work at a doctor's surgery who has just completed his fourth vivisection. The young man is not aware that he is to become the next object of the experimentation. Having dressed up the last corpse in the clothes of the unemployed man, the doctor takes it to the railway track so that it can be run over by a train. Urged by the clerk, the police begin a search and the case is entrusted to the famous detective, Gordon, who is soon on the trail of the mad doctor. He manages to apprehend the doctor and then hands him over to the police. The young man is saved and finds love in the arms of the bank clerk.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 12

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.
