The brutal Siler gang is on Winnetou's watch list. Four Apaches have recently been killed. Ntscho-Tschi, heavily hurt, barely escaped the murderers. Legendary Old Firehand asks his friend Winnetou for help: Siler's brother is locked up in the prison of Miramonte. If he should not be free soon, Siler threatens to transform the small border town into a sea of flames. Winnetou does not hesitate for a moment to help defend Miramonte with his silver rifle... (official distributor synopsis)

I wonder why the screenwriters felt the need to come up with this particular story instead of trying something else. Old Firehand isn't a completely bad character, but he doesn't really stand out much. Winnetou is again just a side character here, and his role isn't anything great. The other characters are essentially dispensable, and even Nscho-tschi doesn't really bring much joy.

The absolute worst Western from the works of Karel May, full of illogicalities that even a less knowledgeable viewer of the classic installments will be sure to notice. In this form, that fascinating adventurer from the books, Firehand, is nothing more than a disgrace.
