Tom Dunson builds a cattle empire with his adopted son Matthew Garth. Together they begin a massive cattle drive north from Texas to the Missouri railhead. But on the way, new information and Dunson’s tyrannical ways cause Matthew to take the herd away from Dunson and head to a new railhead in Kansas driving his cattle to Red River when his adopted son Matthew turns against him.
McLintock – western movie – Starring – John Wayne and Maureen O’Hara.
Cattle Baron – George Washington “G.W.” McLintock is living the single life on his ranch. He is estranged from wife Katherine, who left him two years before, suspecting him of adultery.
When he isn’t playing chess or breaking his own record for throwing a hat up onto the longhorn-shaped weather vane at the top of his house every time he comes home drunk, McLintock keeps busy with the ranch. He hires attractive widow Louise Warren (Yvonne De Carlo) as his cook and welcomes both her and her two children into his home, including grown son Dev (Patrick Wayne), who is handy with his fists.
