Among them is the German aristocrat Martin of Aerie and the son of the Chriricahua-Apache chief Lata-nalgut (Strong Hand). Along with the beautiful but ruthless Senorita Miranda Roulin who has made the drunken Maricopa-chief "Iron Arrow" an ally. All three have it in for the mysterious "Paloma Nakana" - a young woman who lives under the protection of the Apaches and searches for her lost lover: Martin Adler Horst. Winnetou and Old Firehand have to muster all their skills to keep peace in the Indian lands. They are supported on their path by good friends: Sam Hawken and Hobble-Frank. However, the two Western men have their work cut out for them, the refined quack Dr. Jefferson Hartley, seller of the miracle elixir Little Water, who says it will protect them against all kinds of angry customers. The drama develops, as Old Firehand adventurous son Harry from Senorita Roulin is held prisoner at the mercury mine and "Paloma Nakana" is to be sacrificed to the gods of the Maricopas in a secret ceremony.
