Synopsis

Max quarrels with his wife, leading her to leave him. In response, the protagonist attempts to manage household duties himself. He buys a live chicken, which he chases with a revolver, partially plucks, shaves, and attempts to roast, only to find the bird still alive and escaping. Turning to another task, he spills boot polish, licks it from a spoon, and later uses the same spoon to stir a broth. He sends for his wife to return home, but shortly after, he learns he has inherited a large fortune, bringing him great joy—until his wife ultimately returns.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 3

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.
