A frontiersman (Stewart Granger) and an Apache (Pierre Brice) work together to uncover the activities of a murderous gang after settlers are found dead and blame has been leveled at a local tribe of Shoshone. Based on the novel by Karl May and directed by Alfred Vohrer (DEAD EYES OF LONDON). In the 1960s, Italy may have invigorated the western with their "spaghetti" westerns but they weren't the only European country making westerns. The German western, often referred to as sauerkraut westerns (usually filmed in what was then Yugoslavia) were very popular. This solid western is a good example of the subgenre. It has a strong storyline, moves at a nice pace and is entertaining to boot. It has all the requisite trimmings that should appeal to western buffs. With Elke Sommer, Gotz George and Terence Hill.
