Because of his drunkenness and questionable use of firearms, aging U.S. Marshal Rooster Cogburn has been stripped of his badge. But he's given a chance to redeem himself after a village in Indian Territory is overrun by a gang of violent, ruthless criminals, who've killed an elderly preacher, Rev. George Goodnight. His spinster daughter, Eula Goodnight, wants to track the criminals down and makes Rooster an unwilling partner. But Rooster must use care, because the criminals, led by Hawk and Breed, have stolen a shipment of nitroglycerine.

* BadBoss: Hawk belittles his men enough throughout the movie and even throws his drink at another. Breed gets the worst of the treatment considering hes the most talented of the group.

When Marshall Cogburn absconds their wagon with the nitro, the outlaws chase them, but are loathe to shoot at them lest they detonate the nitro. Much of the film's story centers on this cat-and-mouse game with these munitions [[spoiler: with Hawk and his posse ultimately detonated via them]].
