## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

The Hangover meets True Grit. A grief-stricken preacher’s daughter tracks a drunkard outlaw through Indian Territory with the help of a disgraced marshal who drinks his fee. John Wayne’s cactus-mouthed vengeance tour proves the last age of white-hat outlaws still had one boot to stand on.
