There is a valuable treasure in mysterious “Ghost Canyon”, which Scroggins and his henchmen wish to attain. Along the way, they kill Black Buffalo’s son Schiba-Yak, and frame Winnetou for the deed, leading to the capture of Winnetou, Shatterhand, and their companions by the Kiowas. Winnetou and Shatterhand must do battle (the former with the chief, and the latter with another brave) to prove their innocence, and after definitive proof is found by Chatu-Lea, Winnetou’s group, and the Kiowas, go after the bandits, ultimately converging at Ghost Canyon.
