Content

The individual completed episodes depict child-friendly adventure stories, without explicit depictions of violence or bloody scenes, from the time of the characters Winnetou and Old Shatterhand between their blood brotherhood and the murder of Winnetou's father Intschu Tschuna and his sister Nschotschi. All stories are fictitious and do not appear in the original novel. Many other people from the Karl May universe accompany her on her adventures, such as Hobble Frank, Aunt Droll, and Sam Hawkens.

Since the series is also marketed internationally, it was subtitled "The World of Karl May" on the DVD and the soundtrack.

Although the series was written in the USA and created by cartoonists in China, some concessions to the Japanese anime style have been incorporated into the series for the international market. Nschotschi is accompanied by two animals, fast food, a coyote, and Misty, a skunk.

Curiosity: As in the Karl May films (played by Lex Barker ), Old Shatterhand does not wear a cowboy hat in this series either.

Music

The serial music was written by Adrian Askew. The title melody is a modification of "Ride the Hurricane's Eye" by the Rednex group.
