In 1963 Oregon, Randle McMurphy is incarcerated for his statutory rape of a 15-year-old girl and five previous arrests for assault.

Ratched sees McMurphy's lively, rebellious presence as a threat to her authority, and she rations the patients' cigarettes and suspends their card-playing privileges.

When Cheswick throws a fit demanding his cigarettes from Ratched, McMurphy starts a fight with the orderlies, and Chief intervenes to help him.
