If it were not for the terrible dubbing and the overpowering score that sounded more suitable for a "Tarzan" film, this would actually have made quite decent western. Lex Barker and his "magic silver stick" with his blood brother Apache "Winnetou" (Pierre Brice) have some quite exciting escapades as they try to thwart Herbert Lom ("The Colonel") and his seemingly never-ending army of men who are on the search for the eponymous treasure. It's a colourful adventure story with plenty of gunfights, a mini siege and, of course, plenty of rough and tumble. Made for the German market, which explains the rather quirky inclusion of a German aristocratic butterfly hunter, it has some a rather stilted, almost academic, script; it lacks vernacular and that can render it ridiculous at times, but it's still a decent effort from a nation not known for exploration into the Wild West.
A bandit kidnaps a Marshal who has seen a map showing a gold vein on Indian lands, but other groups are looking for it too, while the Apache try to keep the secret location undisturbed.
Renegades trying to get the army to abandon their fort get the Indians addicted to whiskey, then convince them to attack and drive out the soldiers.
The story concerns two grizzled mountain men -- Bill Tyler and Henry Frapp -- during the dying days of the fur-trapping era. The plot begins when Running Moon runs away from her abusive husband Heavy Eagle and comes across the two seedy fur trappers. The mountain men take her in, unaware that Heavy Eagle has dispatched an army of Indian braves to reclaim her.
After a rare Native American artifact falls onto the black market, a shy waitress with big dreams teams up with a lovelorn military veteran to gain possession of it, putting them in the crosshairs of a ruthless criminal working on behalf of a Western antiquities dealer.
A group of young gunmen, led by Billy the Kid, become deputies to avenge the murder of the rancher who became their benefactor. But when Billy takes their authority too far, they become the hunted.
In a remote corner of the wild country, a bloody war rages. Travis is a bounty hunter with one last hope of redemption. Gutjuk is a young Indigenous man trying to save the last of his family. Together they embark on a manhunt, which unravels a secret that ultimately pits them against each other.
Bounty hunters seek shelter from a raging blizzard and get caught up in a plot of betrayal and deception.
Assaulted by outlaws, donkey-riding Rosie joins a silent drifter's search for gold in the Old West.
Two jobless Americans convince a prospector to travel to the mountains of Mexico with them in search of gold. But the hostile wilderness, local bandits, and greed all get in the way of their journey.
Army despatch rider Hondo Lane discovers a woman and her son living in the midst of warring Apaches, and he becomes their protector.
