In Prohibition Era Texas, a mysterious character (later identifying himself as John Smith ) drives into Jericho, near the Mexican border. The town is virtually deserted except for two feuding bootleg gangs - one Italian, one Irish - that have driven the other residents away, aside from the bartender Joe Monday (William Sanderson), an undertaker, and a corrupt sheriff (Bruce Dern), all of whom make their living by catering to Jericho's criminal elements.
