What sets it apart
May contain story progression spoilers
The Vultures impersonate Indians while carrying out robberies and murders, misleading the surviving husband and the wider community.
Old Surehand and Winnetou jointly investigate the deaths and challenge the initial explanation of the crimes.
The German-language production adapts Karl May's Old Surehand and Winnetou characters within a stylized Western setting.
The robbers disguise themselves as Indians so their crimes are attributed to Native Americans.
