content
The play begins with a conversation between Klekih-petra and Old Shatterhand in the surveyor's camp .
A bear appears while they are talking; Nscho-chi, who followed him as a huntress, shoots him, but he is killed by Shatterhand, who thereby saves Nscho-chi. Collins and Santer have an argument with Shatterhand. Nscho-chi and Old Shatterhand talk to each other and he gives her a small cross. Intschu-chuna unsuccessfully prohibits further construction of the railway; the situation escalates and Santer shoots Klekih-petra.
The Apaches leave, and thanks to Sam Hawkens, the Whites ally with the Kiowas. The attacking Apaches are captured and Shatterhand frees Winnetou and Intschu-tschuna. The whites are caught in the following Apache attack.
In the pueblo , Nscho-chi and Winnetou talk to each other. She is convinced of Shatterhand's innocence. Shatterhand defeated Intschu-chuna in a swimming competition; Winnetou and Old Shatterhand become blood brothers . Shatterhand's pleading saves Santer from the torture stake . He will be released. When Old Shatterhand Nscho-chi confesses that he will return her love ("Well, so may my red dove take what belongs to her!"), She is shot by Santer.
Elsewhere: Sam and Dick Stone remember their shared past when Winnetou informs them that Santer is approaching with the Kiowas and apparently wants to attack Helldorf Settlement or the Echo-Cañon train station. They decide to spend the night in Helldorf-Settlement, where settlers of German origin and others. a. sing the " Ave Maria " that Old Shatterhand recognizes as his "Marienlied", which he once wrote in Chicago for Hillmann's choir. From here, Shatterhand, Winnetou, Sam Hawkens and Dick Stone set out for the train station. While they are still on their way, Helldorf Settlement is ambushed and the residents are taken to Hancock Mountain as prisoners. Old Shatterhand & Co. have captured Santer and follow them to Hancock Mountain. During the liberation, Winnetou is hit by a bullet from a Kiowa. The farmers sing him the "Ave Maria" again. He dies.
