A mutilating knife wielding killer haunts the small Southwest desert town of Mescal. Though most victims have been prostitutes, the first was Travis Mescal, the only son of the town's first family. When the Sheriff proves unable to solve the case, the town leaders invite Investigator Burns to unravel the mystery. Along the way, he confronts tension with the Sheriff, trouble with some citizens, and finally a killer whose motive we've heard before in Ripper-lore.

!!''Knife for the Ladies'' contains examples of:
* SeventiesHair: Jeff Cooper's shoulder length surfer boy perm is especially distracting in a movie supposedly set in the 1880s.
* ChairmanOfTheBrawl: Jarrod smashes a stool over Burns' head during their brawl in the jailhouse.
* DeathFakedForYou: Elizabeth and Orville fake Travis' death and stage a fake funeral for him, allowing Elizabeth to secrete him away in the Mescal mansion.
* HandOfDeath: The Ripper is only seen as a pair of boots and a hand holding a knife until their true identity is revealed.
* SlashedThroat: How all of the Ripper's victims (except Orville) are killed.
* {{Undertaker}}: Orville is the town's undertaker (and barber). He has a very morbid (and mercenary) attitude on life.
