John Wayne plays a Civil War veteran named Captain Kirby York who's stationed at an outpost under the command of a douchebag Henry Fonda. Anyway, John Wayne mentors a young Second Lieutenant named Michael Shannon O'Rourke who falls in love with Henry Fonda's daughter.... Who in this movie is Shirley Temple. But they're forbidden to see each other because Henry Fonda is a douchebag. And then everything goes to hell. It's not a bad movie as far as Westerns are concerned.
And anyway, I guess what I'm saying is I want to be mentored by John Wayne and fall in love with Shirley Temple.
