A drunken, hard-nosed U.S. Marhal and a Texas Ranger help a stubborn young woman track down her father's murderer in Indian territory.
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 marhal, "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, Arkanas, deep into the Indian Territory (present day Oklahoma) to find their man.
