Set in 1946 after the end of World War II, soldier Kyle Martin (Gary Conway) returns to the U.S. where several white racists beat him and throw him off a moving train when he comes to the aid of an African-American soldier.Returning to the family farm in Georgia, Kyle discovers that his father has recently died and the local bank is ready to foreclose on the property. Later, Kyle rescues local gambler Johnny O (Michael Dante) from a fiery automobile accident and is rewarded with $1,500, delivered by Johnny O's dancer friend, Betty McCrail (Angel Tompkins). Meanwhile, Kyle tries to pay off the bank, but the $1,500 that he offers is nowhere near the amount in back taxes that he needs to save his farm.When a local gangster named Passini (George Memmoli) and three thugs blind Johnny O' with acid, Johnny O' sends Betty to offer Kyle $50,000 to take revenge by killing the mobster. Kyle refuses the job until one of Passini's thugs, Weasel (Timothy Scott), sets his barn on fire, rapes Betty, and murders Gumshoe (Ken Renard), an old black man who has worked on the Martin family farm for years.While Kyle kills Passini and his gangsters, one of Passini's men murders Johnny O' at the hospital. Kyle then returns to his farm, where Betty is waiting to settle down into a new life. However, previously, Passini hired a black hit man, Matt Conners (Johnny Popwell), to kill Kyle. As Matt crouches on a nearby hill looking through his sniper scope, he sees that his intended victim is the man who came to his aid on the train. Matt takes his finger off the trigger and walks away.
Kyle Martin returns as a silver star hero, but realizes running a one man farm is not profitable, and the bank wants to foreclose, despite returning as a hero. Then a gambler Johnny has a car accident near his farm, in which Kyle saves his life, in which Johnny offers him 1,5000 dollars, which still isn't enough to save the farm. Then when Johnny past-post on a horse race for over $50,000, angering local mobster Passini as he and his three henchmen kills Johnny's bodyguard and then blinds Johnny's eyes with acid to "make a example out of him", Johnny asks his girl Betty to ask Kyle to kill Prassini and his men one by one for $50,000, the money he needs to save his farm, which sets the path for revenge.
