An aging marshal helps a young girl find her father's killer. When a Texas Ranger joins in the 
pursuit for the reward, conflicts ensue between the two men until the girl brings them together.

==========

The murder of her father sends a teenage tomboy, Mattie Ross (Kim Darby), on a mission of "justice", 
which involves avenging her father's death. She recruits a tough old marshal, "Rooster" Cogburn 
(John Wayne), because he has "grit", and a reputation of getting the job done. The two are joined 
by a Texas Ranger, La Boeuf (Glen Campbell), who is looking for the same man (Jeff Corey) for a 
separate murder in Texas. Their odyssey takes them from Fort Smith, Arkansas, deep into the 
Indian Territory (present day Oklahoma) to find their man.
