He refuses, and the Cutthroats murder his family. Swearing vengeance, Cain teams up with a colorful preacher/bounty hunter, and hunts down his family’s killers one at a time.

“Good revenge Western with Scott Brady on the hunt for the 6 men who killed his wife and son, and burned his home, shot him and left him for dead. Thing is that they used to be Confederate soldiers under his command. They are now thieves, killers and they want to be mercenaries, but he refuses to lead them, for good reason, and that turns them against him, plus theyu0026#39;re not happy that he has a black wife.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAfter they take off, heu0026#39;s saved from death by John Carradine as a self-ordained minister whou0026#39;s also a u0026quot;Dead or Aliveu0026quot; bounty hunter who, rather than bring in a whole body, only brings in the head, to collect the bounty, keeping them pickled in a barrel. Grisly yet humorous.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eBrady shows no hesitation in slaughtering the renegades, and why should he? They killed his wife and son with no remorse. Even in situations when he could let some of them them live, he wonu0026#39;t. Heu0026#39;s so intent that eventually the bounty hunter even questions his motives. Regardless, we root for him to succeed. Plenty of good gunshot violence and shoot-out scenes.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe renegades are certainly a group of morons and imbeciles, and the smart Brady is more than they can handle. This is a public domain title that isnu0026#39;t too hard to find, and well worth it”
