English Summary:

Balam (George Chakiris) is the son of the ruler of a Mayan city-state who use wooden swords (with obsidian edges). His father is killed in battle against metal-blade armed rivals led by Hunac Ceel (Leo Gordon). Balam succeeds to the throne, but is convinced by his advisers, including the head priest, to lead his followers away from the Yucatán, sail to the American Gulf Coast region, so they might regain their strength and fight again another day.

Balam's party comes to a coastal settlement with many boats. Balam wants the population of the settlement to join him with their boats. The settlement's chief agrees if Balam agrees to marry his daughter, Ixchel (Shirley Anne Field), and make her Queen. Balam agrees.

The new land they arrive in is a province occupied by a Native American tribe led by Black Eagle (Yul Brynner). They are none too pleased about these strange, uninvited immigrants. In a small raid to capture one of the Mayans, Black Eagle is wounded and taken captive to the Mayans' fortified settlement. Balam's love interest Ixchel tends to the Indian's wounds and gains an interested suitor, one who is more forthcoming with his love for her.

Hungarian Summary:

A Mexikói-öböl partvidékén összetalálkozik két hatalmas király. Egyikük Balam, a maják nagyhatalmú vezetője, aki népével a tengert átszelve menekült e földre. Másikuk Fekete Sas, az indiánok főnöke, akinek törzse ősidők óta él e vidéken és úgy ismeri azt, mint a tenyerét. Mindketten bátor harcosok és remek vezetők, kultúráik mégis oly különbözőek, hogy hamarosan kiderül: a két nép nem élhet békében egymás mellett. Konfliktusuk különösen azért válik kiélezetté, mert mindkét férfi beleszeret a szépséges maja hercegnőbe, Ixchelbe. Ám amikor barbár sereg tör népeikre, a két rendkívüli uralkodó képes félretenni az ellentétet és vállvetve harcolnak a civilizáció ellenségei ellen.
