Rok 1870: ovdovělá Victoria Barkleyová (Barbara Stanwyck) žije na Stocktonském ranči v Kalifornii, společně se svou rodinou, dvěma syny a dcerou Audrou (Linda Evans). Navíc se objeví Viktoriin nemanželský syn Heath (Lee Majors), který zpočátku jen těžce získává důvěru ostatních. Všichni musí držet pohromadě a chránit svůj majetek před zloději, kteří je chtějí připravit o pozemky a koně.
Westernový seriál popisuje život rodiny Barkleyových v městečku na Divokém západě. Po skončení Občanské války prožívají těžké období. Hrozbou pro město jsou kromě zlodějů a bankovních lupičů i fanatiční revolucionáři a narůstající rasové předsudky.
