Il ricchissimo mandriano George Washington McLintock trascorre la vita nel suo ranch, due anni prima sua moglie Katherine se ne è andata perché lo sospetta di aver commesso adulterio. McLintock assume una bella vedova come cuoca personale ed accoglie in casa anche suo figlio. Ben presto incominciano a volare scintille a causa di un'inattesa serie di eventi, tra cui risse, sparatorie, un attacco indiano... e il ritorno della signora McLintock, che pretende l'affidamento di sua figlia Rebecca (che ritorna dal collegio pochi giorni dopo l'arrivo della madre) e il divorzio. Alla fine, però, il signor McLintock rifiuterà di dare spiegazioni sul suo presunto tradimento e dopo aver malmenato la moglie "bisbetica" la convincerà a tornare con sé.
