John Wayne received the 1970 Oscar for Best Actor for his performance as the drunken, uncouth, one-eyed US marshal, Rooster Cogburn. In this extraordinary Western, Cogburn is hired by a young girl (Kim Darby) to kill the man who murdered her father and stole the family nest egg, and she insists on accompanying Cogburn on his quest. Cogburn isn’t happy about this, nor with the inexperienced but enthusiastic Texas Ranger La Boeuf (Glen Campbell) who also tags along and wants the reward. Laughter and tears punctuate the wild action as this odd threesome form a reluctant bond.
