Produced in West Germany and Yugoslavia by companies including Rialto Film and Jadran Film, the film adapts American frontier imagery through the Karl May western cycle.
Apanatschi inherits her father's secret mine, while prospectors and Curly-Bill's gang seek its location and the promised loot.
Apanatschi, her brother Happy, and their father Mac Haller become targets after the family's mine is exposed, prompting Winnetou's intervention.
Winnetou saves Happy from a mountain fall and later becomes Apanatschi's protector when prospectors and gang members threaten the family.
