This is the second of the German made Winnetou films based on the stories of Karl May. This film concerns itself with the building of the railroad across the western plains, which creates many conflicts with the various Indian tribes and the settlers. An outlaw name Santer decides to capitalize on the problem. He wants to take possession of a gold mine located on land held sacred by the Indians. He convinces the railroad construction boss to change the course of the railway to cut-through the Indian lands. A surveyor hired by the railroad discovers the plan to change the route he originally set. After he gets into a fistfight he is then nicknamed Shatterhand for his smashing blows. He becomes a blood-brother to Winnetou who has become chief of the Apaches after Santer has killed his father. He and Shatterhand help unite the Indians against the outlaw and his gang.
