In the beginning of "True Grit," Rooster Cogburn kills a man named Tom Chaney, who is responsible for the murder of Mattie Ross's father. Chaney is a fugitive, and Cogburn is hired by Mattie to track him down and bring him to justice. This act sets the stage for the central plot of the story, as Mattie seeks vengeance for her father's death.
