Synopsis for "Four Little Pigs: A Grindhouse Western"

Jonah Hex comes upon a homestead and asks the female occupant if she has seen a man named Loy Turns, whom Hex is looking for, and was riding with three other men. She says she hasn't seen any man in about two months and asks Hex if he would like to stay for dinner. Hex agrees. The two talk and drink. And eat and drink. And drink some more. When Hex is so drunk he has passed out, Holly walks out to the barn where she is keeping the four men Hex asked about. Each of the men has had his tongue removed and one or more limbs. Hex shows up at the door and is knocked out by Holly's returning sister, Hannah, who is wielding a shovel.

The next morning, Hex awakes tied up in the barn. The other men use their teeth to gnaw through the rope binding Hex's arms together and he escapes before the sisters return.

The sisters decide to clean out the barn in the morning, expecting that Hex has gone to town to tell the authorities about the sister's doings. They figure that it will be his word against theirs, if they get rid of all the evidence. Hannah goes out to get some wood for the fire and Hex knocks her out with his gun. He then collects Holly and ties the two women up in the barn. Hex asks the women why they have been doing what they have been doing and the women talk about the evils of men. While they've been talking, the tongueless men have crawled over to the women and using only their teeth, kill the two. Then the men beg Hex to shoot them. Instead, Hex collects the men and rides into town with them to collect his bounty.
