A Taste Of Death (1968)

A gang of cattle rustlers, lead by their blond leader Scaife (Bruno Corazzari) , bring their herd of cows to a small town asking if they can stay a few days because of the weather. Although suspicious, the town sheriff Ramson lets the men stay.

The sheriff recognizes Dan (John Ireland), one of the rustlers. Seems that Dan and the sheriff are old friends. Dan is also the father of Tony (Andrea Giordana), the sheriff's adopted son. He tells the sheriff that he should leave town. Scaife and his gang are bad and do not intend to leave but to take over the town. The sheriff tries to get the townsfolk to fight back, but they are apathetic and walk away. When Scaife and the sheriff have a showdown, the sheriff is shot and killed.

Scaife makes the villagers his slaves by forcing the men to work making a corral for the cattle. Tony sneaks away and with Dan's help, prepares to fight the scoundrels. Inspired by Tony, the villagers finally rebel and start killing the rustlers. Eventually Scaife and Dan face off. Dan shoots Scaife but as he approaches the rustler, Scaife pulls out his gun and shoots Dan. Tony arrives just as Dan dies never finding out that Dan is his father.
