action
Greedy businesspeople around the unscrupulous Vermeulen let villainous villains shoot down bison on Indian territory to provoke a conflict with the Mescalero Apache. But their chief Winnetou remains level-headed. In contrast, the white buffalo, leader of the Jicarilla Apache, can be induced to reclaim land from the government that has already been ceded for settlers by delivering alcohol and weapons. Winnetou and Old Shatterhand report this to the governor of Santa Fe, who guarantees White Buffalo more land and impunity if he cooperates with the government. The blood brothers want to tell him this. But a spy at the governor informs Vermeulen of this; he lets a henchman carry out a rock blast at the quarry just as the blood brothers ride past below. But their horses have smelled the attack, the two appear to lie motionless in the rubble. While Winnetou rides on, Old Shatterhand pursues the assassin who leads him to Vermeulen. The unmasked mastermind sends a telegram to Clinton , which is on the way from Winnetou. There the bandit leader Rollins receives the message to stop Winnetou. Old Shatterhand arrests Vermeulen's henchman: he confesses to Vermeulen's plan and Old Shatterhand rides after Winnetou.
Thanks to his horse Iltschi, he escaped both the first ambush and, with great effort and help from Old Shatterhand, the second ambush by Rollins. Immediately afterwards, the blood brothers are surrounded by the Jicarillas and warn in their camp not to allow themselves to be incited by the traders to fight for their ceded land. White Buffalo wants to hear his son Fast Panther, but Rollins brings him dead after stabbing him with Winnetous's knife that was left behind during the fight against the bandits. White Buffalo believes Rollins' posing as a witness that Winnetou killed his son. But Sam Hawkens can use a ruse to free the blood brothers from the torture stake of the Indians seeking revenge and telegraph Old Shatterhand from Clinton to the governor for help. He has Vermeulen arrested.
The Jicarillas, together with the bandits, pursue the Mescalero tribe, which is retreating into the mountains, for days until they have reached it. The blood brothers appeal for peace for the last time when the cavalry from Santa Fe finally arrives, warning the Old Shatterhand, leaving his cover wants to ride into the guns of the bandits. Rollins, who sneaked up the rocks, uses this to shoot Old Shatterhand. Winnetou throws himself into the path of the bullet and is fatally hit. Rollins is executed by the spears of the Mescaleros. In addition to the dying Winnetou, Old Shatterhand experiences shared moments with him in his mind.

background
There was criticism in parts of the press that Winnetou should die as intended in the book, and the producers persisted. Especially in the youth magazine Bravo , letters to the editor demanded that the youth idol embodied by Pierre Brice be kept alive. Otherwise one did not stick to the novel, which Winnetou's death built into other storylines. The film script, on the other hand, subordinated everything to a murderous hunt for the Apache chief.
The shooting took place from June 14th to August 13th 1965 in the area of Split . Trogir , the old Croatian town on an island, was chosen because of the well-preserved medieval townscape for the scenes set in the governor town of Santa Fe . Harald Reinl chose a remote location on Mount Mali Alan for the dying scene. The Rollins actor Rik Battaglia was insulted by radical Winneto fans after the film was released and years later often disregarded in public.
Shooting of Old Surehand Part 1 began on August 23 , again with Pierre Brice as Winnetou. However, the Karl May enthusiasm had peaked after Winnetou's death. The two-part TV series Winnetou's return in 1998 on ZDF did nothing to change that, assuming that Winnetou had survived seriously injured and had been nursed back to health.

Reviews
“The prairie is on fire, Indian pueblos explode, oil clouds smoke over rivers and glaciers - whole treks are sinking into the ground with man and horse and wagon. Really done fabulous. One is amazed, amazed, amazed. "
"WINNETOU 3rd PART is technically perfect, the pyrotechnical as well as underwater scenes are impressive, like the rides, the feline suppleness of Winnetou or the way in which Old Shatterhand knock-out thirteen enemies at the same time in close combat. That was a credit to any western. "
“The pen is off, the silver box is silent, the eye breaks, the hand slacks - with the ringing of bells, Winnetou sets out for Manitou's climes. Old Shatterhand is lost in the rock and can't believe it. "
“This last part of the Winnetou trilogy is definitely the most successful. The effective ending touches on sentiment without becoming sentimental. "
"The last part of the WINNETOU trilogy is the weakest: Nothing is left of the original novel."
"Large-scale, exciting, but all too emotional end of the" Winnetou "trilogy after Karl May."
