Starring John Wayne, Maureen O’Hara, Stefanie Powers

George Washington McLintock, “GW” to friends and foes alike, is a cattle baron and the richest man in the territory. He anxiously awaits the return of his daughter Becky, who has been away at school for the last two years.

He’s also surprised to see that his wife Katherine has returned. She had left him some years before without really explaining what he had done, but she does make the point of saying that she’s returned to take their daughter back to the State Capitol with her.

“GW” is highly respected by everyone around him, including the farmers who are pouring into the territories with free grants of land – and the Indians, who are under threat of being relocated to another reservation.

Things take an uproarious turn for the “worst” when “GW” faces off, not only with his hot-tempered wife, but with his daughter and her suitors; homesteaders and cattlemen; and the government over land disputes with the local Comanche.

Between his wife, his headstrong daughter, the crooked land agent and the thieving government Indian agent, “GW” tries to keep the peace and do what is best for everyone.
