What sets it apart
May contain story progression spoilers
The German-language production uses Karl May's Winnetou mythology and was made by European studios rather than within Hollywood's western system.
Ölprinz invents nonexistent oil wells at Shelly Lake and attempts to profit through a bank deal while redirecting settlers.
Winnetou and Old Surehand are presented as blood brothers who unite against the Oilprince's scheme.
The colonists seek to settle Shelly Lake while Ölprinz manipulates their route for his own commercial purposes.
