La calle de los conflictos

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.
