Synopsis

The Stooges travel to Egypt in search of the mummy of King Rootin-Tootin, for which a museum is offering a $5000 reward. They enter the mummy's tomb, where they are pursued by a group of criminals with the same goal. The villains, who have kidnapped a museum professor, are after the jewels buried within the mummy. When Curly accidentally destroys the mummy, Moe and Larry bandage him up to deceive the bad guys. They succeed in rescuing the professor and recovering the real mummy of Rootin-Tootin, who turns out to be a midget.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 15

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.
