The first part of the "Winnetou"-Trilogy, produced with motives of the same called novel of Karl May: The construction of the Great Western Railroad, in the middle of the 19th century in the American West, creates heavy conflicts between settlers, the railway company and neighbouring Indian tribes. This is when criminal gang leader Santer (Mario Adorf) sets his eyes on a gold mine, which is located on holy Indian land. He then influences the construction supervisor, to change original planning and alter the railroad route straight through the Apache land. Old Shatterhand (Lex Barker), who works as a measurement technician for the Railroad society, discovers the evil plan and searches contact with the Indians, in order to unite against the gangsters. When Shatterhand helps Indian chief Winnetou (Pierre Brice) to escape from the hostile Kiowa Tribe's totem pole, he manages to convince him of his good intentions. United, they track Santer down, but the outlaw has always another joker up his sleeve. (official distributor synopsis)
