Synopsis

Winnetou and Old Shatterhand are on the trail of "Colonel" Brinkley an unscrupulous crook who is trying by hook or crook to find the legendary treasure trove of the silver lake. He has killed and kidnapped to get his hands on a secret map of the treasures location. The two blood brothers are repeatedly held up by hostile Indian tribes and have to watch helplessly as Brinkley reaches the treasure cave before they do. Brinkley kills the cave's guard and prepares to snatch what he has looking for so long. But the dying cave guard manages to trip a mechanism, which collapses the cave and all that is inside.

Review

Although filmed by a joint German-Yugoslav crew, this European western is set in the Southern United States and involves an oddly-named hero, Old Shatterhand (Lex Barker of Tarzan fame). O.S. has a sidekick, Winnetou, an Apache chief played by a rather understated Pierre Brice. The fuel behind the drama is a hidden map that shows where a secret treasure is buried somewhere around Silver Lake. A gang of outlaws headed by Cornel Brinkley (Herbert Lom) is intent on retrieving the map and the treasure. Just as intent on stopping them are Old Shatterhand, Winnetou, and Fred Engel (Goetz George) whose father was killed by the outlaws' leader.
