It is about a woman who leaves an abusive relationship to start a new life in Chicago, where she forms a friendship with a hitman who is undergoing his own emotional crisis.

The Merry Gentleman is the story of Kate, a young woman who flees her abusive policeman husband, moving to Chicago.

In her new life, she befriends a co-worker but otherwise generally keeps to herself, due to her embarrassment over a black eye left over from her husband's latest attack.

One night, she is seen in an office window through the rifle scope of professional hit man Frank Logan, who is on the roof of the opposite building, as he prepares to shoot the occupant on another floor.

Some time after his release, she mentions the old hat that he wears and wonders about "the things it has seen," unknowingly referring to the many men that Frank has murdered.

Murcheson asks Kate to stop by her office after work, presumably to discuss the case, but he has hoped it to be a date, and does not communicate these intentions.

She turns to Murcheson for help, but before he can intervene, Frank fatally shoots Michael in his motel room and makes it look like a suicide.

Unsatisfied with his dreary day job as a tailor, having left behind the only pleasant aspect of his life, and placing the familiar symbol of his sinister side back on his head, he walks off into the woods.

They sued for breach of contract, leading to Merry Gentleman, LLC v. George & Leona Prods., Inc. [1] The movie was filmed in Chicago, Illinois, in 26 days from early March thru mid-April 2007.
