Wer hat die Kriegskasse der US-Armee gestohlen? Für die Staatsanwaltschaft kommt nur Major Kingsley in Frage, der mit dem Gold nach einem vorgetäuschten Überfall geflüchtet ist. Nur Apachen-Häuptling Winnetou (Pierre Brice) kennt die Wahrheit. Der Major starb in seinen Armen, von den Banditen unter der Führung des brutalen Murdock getötet. Da taucht plötzlich Mabel (Karin Dor), die Tochter des Majors, mit einem Schreiben auf. Sein Inhalt würde die Unschuld ihres Vaters beweisen. Bandenchef Murdock vermutet, dass darin auch das Versteck des verschwundenen Goldes erwähnt wird. Old Shatterhand (Lex Barker) kann in letzter Minute einen Überfall auf Mabel verhindern. Doch Murdock ist ein gefährlicher Gegner und arbeitet insgeheim mit dem Sheriff zusammen. Winnetou will seinen Blutsbruder Old Shatterhand und Mabel zum Grab des ermordeten Majors führen. Mit dabei ist auch Shatterhands treuer Gefährte Sam Hawkens (Ralf Wolter). Doch Murdock ist ihnen bereits auf der Spur. Zudem haben auch die kriegerischen Sioux von dem Goldschatz erfahren.

A symbolic farewell in a hundred and one ways. Harald Reinl couldn't bear to see the series he started come to an end, and therefore decided to give the golden and irreplaceable era of the Winnetou films one more installment. After all, the last two films that the audience saw, Winnetou and the Crossbreed and Winnetou and Old Firehand, were not very successful in 1966. That's why Reinl had to take the director's chair and create a film that gave the viewers everything they loved. There was the beloved duo in the lead, who pulled off their performances just like in the best of the films, both humorous sidekicks, and the music by Martin Böttcher. When the main female character shines in a performance by Karin Dor and the villain, Rik Battaglia, fights with traditional bloodlust, there is nothing left to say. It is precisely the rendering of Death Valley that, in my eyes, is closest to the golden quartet in terms of quality. The illusion of a "proper" adventure of the blood brothers has never been so close before, and I can credit this to the director himself. Years after the fact, I finally got used to the different dubbing and, on the contrary, it evokes an even greater sense of nostalgia for me. The seventy-year-old Vladimír Ráž trying to breathe life into courageous Old Shatterhand simply moves me to the core.

I think as a farewell to individual - beloved and perhaps even loved - characters, it's quite good, especially since it was also filmed in the Grand Canyon, which is noticeable as well. Winnetou and Old Shatterhand have good roles here, and seeing their brotherly characters is enjoyable for me. The story is quite simple, but they were all like that. I enjoyed this film.
