While trying to catch up to Old Surehand, Old Shatterhand and his friends make the acquaintance of yet another mysterious Indian, the fabled and elusive Kolma Putshi. Is he somehow connected to Old Surehand, the `General`, Apanatshka, and the insane woman from the Valley of the Rabbits? We find out as all of these characters meet and interact several times along the storyline. After failed assassination attempts, several rescues from certain death, a `Cyclops fight`, bear hunts, and lots of `sneaking up on people`, the story culminates at the Lake of Green Water and the Devil`s Head, where the `General` is unmasked and the mystery surrounding Old Surehand is finally revealed.
