Using money stolen from gangsters, they purchase a sawmill from racist landowner Hogwood to start a juke joint for the local Black community. Their cousin Sammie, an aspiring guitarist, joins them despite opposition from his pastor father Jedediah, who warns that blues music is devilishly supernatural.The twins recruit other staff: pianist Delta Slim and singer Pearline (who becomes mutually enamored with Sammie) as performers, Smoke's estranged wife Annie as cook, local Chinese shopkeepers Grace and Bo as suppliers, and field-worker Cornbread as bouncer. Meanwhile, Stack reconnects with his ex-girlfriend Mary, who passes for white; Mary resents Stack for abandoning her when he left for Chicago. Smoke and Annie argue over her belief in the occult, as Annie insists her practices kept the twins safe, but Smoke bitterly reminds her that their infant daughter still died. Elsewhere, Irish-immigrant vampire Remmick flees from Choctaw vampire hunters and violently turns a married pair of local Klansmen into vampires.At the joint's opening night, Sammie's music is transcendent, unknowingly summoning spirits of both past and future to join the entranced crowd. The performance draws Remmick's attention, and he arrives with his minions, offering money and music for entry. The suspicious twins hesitate and the vampires retreat. Reminding Stack that the bar needs the income, Mary meets Remmick outside but is turned. She returns inside, where she seduces Stack and bites him. Smoke shoots her, but she is unharmed by regular bullets and escapes. Cornbread is attacked by Remmick and turned as well.As the joint empties, the vampires attack and turn the departing patrons, including Bo. Stack revives as a vampire, but Annie repels him with pickled garlic juice. She educates the survivors: only sunlight, silver, or wooden stakes can kill vampires, and they cannot enter a building unless invited. Now leading a horde of vampires but still unable to enter the bar, Remmick negotiates. He praises Sammie's supernatural talent and says vampirism offers immortality, freedom, and escape from racism; he wants to use Sammie's skills to summon the spirits of his lost community. He also warns that Hogwood, who secretly heads the local Klan, plans to attack the bar at dawn. When the survivors refuse his offer, Remmick and Bo confront Grace, threatening to attack her daughter. A desperate Grace dares the horde to attack the joint, inviting them in. In the ensuing battle, Grace, Annie, and Delta Slim are killed. Mary is devastated by Annie's death and flees the bar.Smoke, Sammie, and Pearline attempt to escape, but Remmick and Stack ambush them. Smoke and Stack clash in a brutal fight, while Sammie and Pearline fight Remmick. Pearline is bitten and begs Sammie to flee. Eventually, Sammie shatters his guitar over Remmick's head, causing the vampires to feel the same pain he inflicts, which gives Smoke enough time to kill Remmick. As the sun rises, the vampire horde is incinerated, but Hogwood and the Klan arrive. Urging Sammie to flee, Smoke ambushes and kills Hogwood and the Klan, but is himself mortally wounded.#thejaftafshow #podcast #moviediscussion #popculture
