Cannery Row starts of with a Chinese man named Lee Chong. Lee Chong is a Chinese immigrant who came to America to make a living. He owns a store with wide variety of items to choose from. Machinery, liquor, clothes, it was a place where a man can find everything they wanted. Mack came in unexpectedly when Lee tried to figure out what to do with this building after he got from a deal. Now Mack lives with his friends: Hazel, Eddie, Hughie, Gay, and Jones. They each have their own talents, such as Gay being a very good mechanic. Then Mack came up with the idea to do something for Doc. Doc runs the Western Biological Laboratory which has loads of sea life that Doc collected and sell them to universities or to other people.
