Synopsis

Elmer tries to elope with his fiancée, but they escape her parents by driving off in a car that belongs to a wanted gangster. When they hear on the radio that the police are searching for them, they abandon the car and take refuge near a farmhouse. However, the farmer's radio also broadcasts their description, prompting them to run away and begin hitchhiking, only to be picked up by two police officers. They manage to escape into a railroad yard and board a train, which turns out to be refrigerated. Eventually, they decide to surrender—just as they discover that the real criminals have already been captured.

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.
