action

The ranchers in the small town of McLintock want to keep a group of new settlers away from their lands. The town's namesake, cattle baron George McLintock, discovers an attractive widow, Louise Warren, among the settlers, whom he hires as a cook. Louise includes her little daughter Alice and her handsome son Dev.

McLintock's wife Katherine lives separately from him in the east. She returns to the ranch to pursue the divorce and obtain custody of her daughter Becky, who is returning from university. Becky also reaches the ranch, accompanied by the student Matt Douglas, whose father is one of McLintock's opponents. A fight breaks out between Matt and Dev, who falls in love with Becky. Katherine and George also get into an argument.

At the same time, a released group of Comanche Indians arrived in the city. As they are to be brought to Fort Sill , they raid the place, but are driven out by the Army. Dev and Becky explain that they want to get married. Annoyed by his wife's jealousy and stubbornness, George pursues Katherine through town. When he catches her, he furiously puts her over his knee, which amuses the audience. When he tells her to go out and go through with the divorce, she throws herself in his arms. The couple reconciles.
