Synopsis

In a flashback, the Stooges recount to their son how he came to have three fathers. The Stooges, who own a pawn shop, are in debt to the Gashouse Protection Society, a group of loan sharks. Matters become more complicated when a woman leaves a baby at the shop as part of a scheme to sell a fake diamond, and the Stooges end up taking care of the child. Ultimately, the Stooges manage to outwit the criminals, and at the conclusion of their story, the child sets off to find his real mother.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 12

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.
