Abahachi (Michael Herbig), chief of the Apache, and his blood brother Ranger (Christian Tramitz) are an inseparable pair since Ranger saved Abahachi from a speeding train at an unguarded railroad crossing. When they aim to buy a pub with the monetary help of Shoshone chief Stinking Lizard ("Listiger Lurch" in the German original - "Cunning Amphibian") through supposed Wyoming real estate agent Santa Maria (Sky du Mont), the deal as well as the pub, which turns out to be just a prop-up facade, collapse. Santa Maria kills Stinking Lizard's son ("Falscher Hase " in the German original - "Fake Hare", a German colloquial expression for a dish of classic meat loaf), who was supposed to deliver the loan. Stinking Lizard believes Santa Maria when he claims it was Abahachi and Ranger who killed the chief's son and upon their return to the Shoshone tribe, the two find themselves unjustly charged with murder.
