Winnetou and Old Shatterhand separated from Old Surehand and Apanatshka when the 'general' and Old Wabble stole their precious weapons, the silver rifle, the Henry rifle and the bear killer. In the meantime, Old Surehand is on a mission of his own; when Shatterhand visits banker Wallace in Jefferson City, he learns that his new friend is on his way to the Rocky Mountains. The blood brothers also head for the Rockies in pursuit of villains and robbers. Winnetou and Old Shatterhand ride with Dick Hammerdull and Pitt Holbers, the robbers' victims, as well as detective Treskow, who has unfinished business with a dangerous villain. While spying on enemy Osage Indians, Old Shatterhand saves Apanatshka from certain death. The mystery surrounding Old Surehand deepens when another enigmatic and elusive red Indian, Kolma Putshi, becomes involved in the pursuit. As the drama nears its end at Devils Head, the 'general' is unmasked.
