The Farmer (1977) Synopsis

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.
