The Ballad of Cable Hogue

About

Double-crossed and left without water in the desert, Cable Hogue is saved when he finds a spring. It is in just the right spot for a much needed rest stop on the local stagecoach line, and Hogue uses this to his advantage. He builds a house and makes money off the stagecoach passengers. Hildy, a prostitute from the nearest town, moves in with him. Hogue has everything going his way until the advent of the automobile ends the era of the stagecoach.

After being cheated and left to die in the parched desert, Cable Hogue turns a sudden discovery of water into a cunningly orchestrated empire. This quirky western trades traditional gunfights for the sharp wit of a man outsmarting the frontier one stagecoach passenger at a time.
