In Tombstone, Arizona, in a notorious brothel named the Birdcage Theatre;
the first single game of high stakes poker began which ran for eight years,
five months, and three days and has gone down in history as the longest
poker game ever played.
In the plush basement of the brothel, huge fortunes were traded at a $1,000.00
buy in. Only the lucky Tombstone miner, who had hit his mother lode or the
wealthiest men in that era could play. This is their story and the story
of the soiled doves who loved them.
Cage of Hands is the story of Dick Clark, the most reknown gambler of the
late 1880's. He was the man to beat and he ran the game. However,
sometimes alcohol, lust and murder have the best hands.
