Summary

The wild bunch: After a botched robbery attempt in Texas, Pike Bishop and his gang head across the Rio Grande and into Mexico. They are being pursued by Deke Thornton and his men bounty hunters. They had been hired by the railroad to stop Bishop and his gang from robbing the rail depot. Bishop and his men plan to spend only a short time in Mexico, but their stay is lengthened when they meet a Mexican general who wants them to rob a U.S. train carrying arms. McCabe & Mr. Miller: Charismatic but dumb John McCabe arrives in a young Pacific Northwest town to set up a whorehouse/tavern. Mrs. Miller, a professional madam, arrives soon after construction begins. She offers to use her experience to help McCabe run his business, while sharing in the profits. The whorehouse thrives and McCabe and Mrs. Miller draw closer. Soon, however, the mining deposits in the town attract the attention of a major corporation, which wants to buy out McCabe. He refuses, and his decision has major repercussions for him, Mrs. Miller, and the town
