The Duke returns to his Oscar-winning role of Rooster Cogbum ; here meeting his match in Katharine Hepburn as the preacher-lady who joins his
'posse' to avenge her father's death.
After being relieved of his badge for becoming too trigger-happy in his pursuit of law and order, the dissolute, one-eyed Deputy
Marshall Rooster Cogburn is offered reinstatement, if he can bring back alive a band of outlaws who have hijacked a wagon-load of nitro-glycerine and guns.
Screenplay by MARTIN JULIEN suggested by the character Rooster Cogtum from the novel True Grit Produced by HAL B. WALLIS Directed by STUART MILLAR
