Synopsis

As a result of a blow on his head, suffered when he was robbed of a shipment of platinum by a gang of bandits known as the Wolf Pack, Sheriff Larry O'Donnell loses his memory and disappears for several months. Jeff Baines, leader of the outlaw gang, uses Larry's absence to get himself elected sheriff. Larry regains his memory, secures proof of Baines' guilt as the leader of the Wolf Pack, seals the evidence into an envelope, and gives it to Madge Blake, the postmistress, to mail to the governor. Baines and his henchmen attempt to rob the mail coach to stop the latter but are captured in a trap set by Larry.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 8

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.
