Grinley ‘The Oil Prince’ is a sneaky villain who sells worthless oil claims to wealthy investors. Now he wants to pull off a huge scheme by selling a large oilfield, located near Shelly Lake, which is in Indian Territory, to the Western Arizona Bank, but his plans are crossed up by a group of colonists, who want to settle there. A settlement near the lake means trouble with the Indians and possibly the interference of the army, so the Oil Prince kills the wagon master of the settlers, and replaces him with one of his own men, who has been instructed to lead them elsewhere. Winnetou and Old Surehand are soon on to his scheme and discover what has happened. Winnetou offers to replace the dead wagon master, but then the Oil Prince kills the son of a Navajo chief, and puts the blame on the settlers. Finally Chief Mokazchi learns the truth and his braves take care of Grinley and he allows the settlers to live in peace.
