"Minnie, at The Polka saloon, is respected and in her turn helpful to the rough clientele of the bar, miners who drink and gamble. Posters advertise a reward for the capture of the wanted bandit Ramerrez. Jack Rance, the sheriff is in love with her and is rough with Dick Johnson, who now comes into the bar, recognised and vouched for by Minnie. Ramerrez, alias Dick Johnson, has been betrayed by a former mistress, but now a bandit attack on the camp is planned. Later in the evening Johnson visits Minnie's hut, to eat there and sleep there for the night. When a group of men come to see if she is safe, they show her the picture of Ramerrez, now identified as Johnson, who has hidden at their arrival. Leaving, he is shot, but staggers in again and is hidden in the loft by Minnie, who denies his presence to Rance. Johnson's presence is revealed by drops of blood and now Minnie gambles with Rance, her love against Johnson's life, cheating to win the game. In the third act Johnson is caught and is about to be hanged when Minnie intervenes, successfully begging his life and freedom, and finally leaving together with him."

Deborah Voigt is Minnie, the girl of the title and owner of a bar in a Californian mining camp. Marcello Giordani sings Dick Johnson, the bandit-turned-lover hunted by the cynical sheriff Jack Rance (Lucio Gallo), who wants Minnie for himself.
