Abilene es una ciudad habitada por gente pacífica pero para prosperar debe aceptar la violencia que traen los vaqueros que conducen el ganado tejano hasta el ferrocarril. A este conflilcto, el marshal Dan Mitchell, debe sumar otro de parecido tamaño: las tierras libres van a ser ocupadas por pequeños agricultores y Abilene, hasta entonces ganadera, puede verse arrastrada a la guerra.
In the years following the Civil War, the town of Abilene, Kansas is poised on the brink of an explosive confrontation. A line has been drawn down the center of the town where the homesteaders and the cattlemen have come to a very uneasy truce. The delicate peace is inadvertantly shattered when a group of new homesteaders lay down their stakes on the cattlemen's side of town, upsetting the delicate balance that had existed thus far and sparking an all-out war between the farmers, who want the land tamed and property lines drawn, and the cowboys, who want the prairies to be open for their cattle to roam.
