Synopsis

This early slapstick short by Louis Feuillade centers on runaways, but rather than a runaway horse—similar to the kind seen in Griffith's *The Curtain Pole*—it features a runaway cart loaded with what appear to be hundred-pound pumpkins. The cart careens through the streets, going hither and yon, down sewers and up chimneys, pursued by the drayer, a couple of other individuals, and a very reluctant donkey.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 2

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.
