In Texas, in 1872, John Ellis, a former slave, and Sarah, a young orphan, founded New Babylon, a city of outcasts. Django arrives in the city on a search for the cuddleer of his family. There he finds his daughter Sarah, the sole survivor of the massacre.
Sarah makes a life-saving discovery for the finances of New Babylon: the city's basements are full of oil. With John, she pushes the door of the bank of Elmdale to finance a drill. They incur the wrath of Elizabeth Thurmann, the local potentate, who is preparing an ambush.
John, his sons, Django and Sarah travel to Nagadoches, where an old friend of John's might sell them a drill; alerted by Aaron, her protégé who infiltrated New Babylon, Elizabeth organises an attack.
Django and Seymour go on a mission to sell oil but Seymour is captured and Django, Sarah and John must find a way to save him.
Django uses a ruse to find out if Seymour is a traitor. He is supposed to accompany a bogus oil shipment to the north while another shipment is made to the south.
With a lawsuit, Elizabeth tries to take the country from her opponent John. When John is arrested by Sheriff Boone, Django wants to help his friend and clear up the injustice.
John orders weapons to defend the city and demands that the people of New Babylon use them. Sarah does not agree with his decision and an argument ensues.
The revenge campaign against John continues; Elizabeth hires Leonard to kidnap Sarah; when Django finds out, he steps in and proposes a deal to Leonard.
John throws a big festival in New Babylon. Elizabeth wants to use this opportunity to sneak into town with her people without being recognised.
Wanting revenge on Elizabeth, Kevin rides to Elmdale; Elizabeth uses the brutal escalation to turn the townsfolk against the people of New Babylon.
