Odvážny farmár John Chisum patrí do starých čias, kedy civilizáciou nedotknutá pôda patrila Indiánom a biely muž tu mohol zvíťaziť len vďaka mimoriadnej odvahe a vytrvalosti. Vtedy Chisum prihnal svoje stádo dobytka do Nového Mexika a stal sa kráľom Pecosu – vlastníkom obrovského územia a tiež najväčšieho vodného zdroja v okolí. Dnes preto rád spomína na svoju mladosť. To ale ešte netuší, že si bude musieť zanedlho spomenúť na svoje strelecké umenie, ktoré v dobe mieru príliš nepoužíva.
