He has fought Indians ever since because he considers them responsible for this atrocity. One day, he captures Tune, a young squaw in the wilderness. He brings her to the next city because he plans to sell her as a slave to the highest bidder. Before she is passed on to a buyer, a racist mob tries to lynch her. Jeremias foils this attempt but is taken by surprise later on. Two bandits abduct Tune and leave Jeremias for dead. As soon as he has recovered sufficiently he pursues the misdoers. When he gets them, it turns out they are associated with a so-called friend of his late father. Jeremias discloses that this presumed friend did not only deceive George Bridger, but also his son Jeremias. The murderers of the Bridger family have been his henchman who had been ordered to mask themselves as Indians. ## Cast - [Leonard Mann](/source/Leonard_Mann_(actor)) as Jim Bridger - [Ivan Rassimov](/source/Ivan_Rassimov) as Perkins - [Klaus Kinski](/source/Klaus_Kinski) as Prescott - [Elizabeth Eversfield](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Elizabeth_Eversfield&action=edit&redlink=1) as Tune - [Steffen Zacharias](/source/Steffen_Zacharias) as Doc - [Salvatore Billa](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Salvatore_Billa&action=edit&redlink=1) as Ted - [Teodoro Corrà](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Teodoro_Corr%C3%A0&action=edit&redlink=1) as Boon - [Giorgio Dolfin](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Giorgio_Dolfin&action=edit&redlink=1) - [Enzo Fiermonte](/source/Enzo_Fiermonte) as George Bridger, Jim's father - [Isabella Guidotti](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Isabella_Guidotti&action=edit&redlink=1) - [Stefano Oppedisano](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Stefano_Oppedisano&action=edit&redlink=1) - [Gianfranco Tamborra](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Gianfranco_Tamborra&action=edit&redlink=1) - [Pietro Torrisi](/source/Pietro_Torrisi) as Roy - [Yotanka](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Yotanka&action=edit&redlink=1) ## See also - [Klaus Kinski filmography](/source/Klaus_Kinski_filmography) ## References 1. **[^](#cite_ref-1)** ["Vengeance is a Dish Served Cold (1971) - IMDb"](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0067931/releaseinfo#akas). *[IMDb](/source/IMDb)*. 1. **[^](#cite_ref-NY_Times_2-0)** ["New York Times: Vengeance Is a Dish Served Cold"](https://web.archive.org/web/20110521004300/http://movies.nytimes.com/movie/142585/La-Vendetta-e-un-piatto-che-si-serve-freddo/overview).
