In the early 1900s, John McCabe - poker player and reputed gunfighter - arrives in a small mining and lumber town in the Pacific Northwest and decides to open a saloon and bordello. He acquires some girls - the cheaper he could find - but is soon joined by Constance Miller who offers to run the girls and the bordello for him. She quickly proves to be the brains of the partnership and the business is a money-maker - which gets the interest of Eugene Sears and Ernie Hollander who want to buy him out. McCabe decides to to bargain for a better price but the potential buyers just walk out and send in their gunmen to kill him.—garykmcd
