Short Summary (German)

(Koproduktion DDR/Jugoslawien)

Dakota-Häuptling Weitspähender Falke sucht mit seiner Frau Blauhaar und zwei Kriegern, den einzigen Überlebenden seines Stammes, eine Zuflucht in den Black Hills. Auf dem Weg wird Blauhaar von einem weißen Banditen hinterrücks erschossen. Falke schwört Rache und begibt sich nach Tanglewood, wo er den Mörder, den zum Gefolge des Bergwerksaktionärs Harrington gehörenden Bashan, weiß. Im Sheriff findet er einen aufrechten Mann, der ihm helfen will. Aber auch er ist ein einsamer Kämpfer. Als Bashan mit seinen Banditen die Stadt im Auftrag Harringtons erobert, kriechen die Bürger zu Kreuze, beugen sich der Macht der Bergwerksgesellschaft. Falke kann Bashan zwar töten, fällt dem Machtkampf der Weißen aber selbst zum Opfer.
