The Scavengers (1969) is a western war drama and exploitation film released in 1969, and re-released as The Grabbers in 1970. It was directed by Lee Frost and starred John Bliss. Uschi Digard also participated.[1]

The film takes place in the period just after the American Civil War. Renegade Confederate soldiers take over a frontier town, but after they molest a young black woman, a group of ex-slaves arm themselves and counter-attack.[2]
