Apache chief Winnetou overwhelmed a young Comanche in an attempt to steal his horse. Although they belong to enemy tribes they become friends, the two Indians then go on to experience exciting adventures in their struggle against the oppression of the white man. For "My friend Winnetou" Pierre Brice slipped once more into the role of his life. A new friendship, as in the legendary series and a reunion with Old Shatterhand and Sam Hawkins. The result is a plea for understanding, which is still as relevant as the first showing of this classic series.

This was a French/Swiss Euro Western television series based on Karl May's Winnetou books.
