Winnetou has survived and now lives in the hills. He doesn't want to see other people, but when a group of settlers and a befriended tribe of Indians are threatened by some bandits, he comes to help.

Winnetou’s Return is a two-part television production. It was inspired by the books of Karl May and produced in 1998 for the German ZDF television network  with Pierre Brice in the title role.

The first part and the second part can be regarded as independent films because, although the second part is based on the first, but the plot is designed so that they can understand even without the first part.
