Synopsis

The Stooges are stagehands who also take on minor roles in a large play. They quickly fall out of favor with the producer when they fail to stop a renowned critic from sneaking into the audience. Later, Shemp mistakenly places a pot holder into a cake they are baking as a prop. During the performance, the Stooges—playing southern gentlemen—and the rest of the cast end up spitting out feathers during a scene meant to be serious. The critic finds the incident amusing and interprets it as a humorous satire, leading to the Stooges' redemption.

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.
