Plot (based on the Vienna 1980 version)
In Santa Mesa del Corbre the settlers live in peace with the Apaches . One day the "general" shows up in town with a bunch of questionable cronies and tries to get close to Ribanna , who is at Mother Thick's tavern with her ten year old son Harry and Sam Hawkens . When her husband Old Firehand notices this, he cleans up the rabble. Meanwhile, an American military force meets Winnetou in the mountains to sign the peace treaty. Winnetou later meets Old Firehand, who has doubts about whether all Indians will keep the peace treaty.
The Apache Til-lata has found a poster offering $ 20 for an Indian scalp. He has three white men with him as prisoners when he returns to the camp. Winnetou can prevent her death by a duel. He knows that the "general" is behind these posters, who also wants to tamper with the Indians' copper mine. Winnetou rides into the city and is captured there because a carriage is bringing the three missing whites back - dead. Winnetou knew nothing about this, a group of soldiers takes him to clarify the incident.
In the mountains, the "general" ambushes the squad and takes Winnetou prisoner in order to force him to surrender the copper mine. Sam Hawkens, Mother Thick, Ribanna and Harry manage to free Winnetou. He takes Ribanna and her son with him to the Apache camp. Half-blood Harry and his Indian friends want to cling to the heels of the "general", but are discovered by his guards and taken prisoner. Winnetou can free the boys, the "general" flees. But he cannot escape his fate, the Apaches find him and put an end to his machinations.
