Synopsis

A man rescues his beloved from Black Mike and they enjoy a happy marriage. He hires a cook who is blunt, domineering, and constantly seen with a cigar. Unexpectedly, the couple is visited by the man's old friend, Roland Stone, who is bluff and portly. Roland grows close to the newlywed's wife, and this bond strengthens after the husband employs a new cook, the attractive Miss Gainsborough, who shows him an excessive amount of friendly attention. That night, a prowler is spotted, Miss Gainsborough faints, and the husband rushes to her aid, only to be grabbed and held by her. His wife becomes upset and decides to leave with Roland. Is the marriage now over?

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.
