Synopsis

An illiterate performer from a traveling medicine show enters a town and is arrested for vagrancy. The town's corrupt officials mistakenly believe he is the inspector general, who they think is traveling incognito. Concerned that he will uncover their embezzlement of tax funds, they attempt to eliminate him through a series of clumsy efforts.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 19

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.
