Description
After Frank Ross is murdered by his hired hand, Tom Chaney, Ross' daughter Mattie, a headstrong 14-year-old girl, hires the aging, irascible and drunken U.S. Marshal Reuben "Rooster" J. Cogburn to track down Chaney. To do so, the pair must head into Indian Territory. They are joined by a young Texas Ranger, La Boeuf, who also hopes to capture Chaney and collect a reward.
