Synopsis

Mobster Louie the Wolf sends an unsuspecting handyman, played by Buster Keaton, to collect the money owed him, intending for the innocent man to be killed by Slugger McGraw, a rival gangster. Keaton's character escapes all the dangers that surround him without realizing what is happening, much to the frustration of McGraw's gang. When he eventually discovers Louie's plan, Keaton causes several policemen to pursue him, ultimately leading them to the gang's hideout.

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.
