English Summary:
Der Schuh des Manitu (English: The Shoe of Manitou) is a 2001 German parody of western films. Directed by Michael Herbig, it is a film adaptation of the Winnetou sketches from his ProSieben television show Bullyparade. With earnings of about 65 million Euro ($70 million) and 11.7 million visitors in cinemas, it is one of the most successful German movies after the Second World War.
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.
German Summary:
Ranger, ein weißer Südstaatler, rettete einst Abahachi, dem Häuptling der Apachen, an einem unbeschrankten Bahnübergang das Leben. Gemäß den Traditionen der Apachen gingen die beiden die Blutsbrüderschaft ein.
Zu Beginn reiten die beiden Blutsbrüder zu den Schoschonen. Abahachi hat sich bei deren Stammeshäuptling Listiger Lurch eine beträchtliche Geldsumme geliehen, um damit von Santa Maria, angeblich Immobilienmakler aus Wyoming, ein neues (Stamm-)Lokal zu kaufen. Als jedoch klar wird, dass Santa Maria (in Wahrheit ein hinterhältiger Schurke) Abahachi übers Ohr hauen will, schnappt sich der Häuptlingssohn der Schoschonen, Falscher Hase, das Geld, nachdem er es überbracht hat, und versucht zu fliehen. Santa Maria erschießt ihn jedoch und es kommt zu einem kurzen Feuergefecht zwischen dessen Bande sowie Abahachi und Ranger. Als letzteren die Munition ausgeht, verschwindet Santa Maria mit seiner Bande. Abahachi und Ranger bringen dem Schoschonenhäuptling die Leiche seines Sohnes und wollen ihm alles erklären. Santa Maria stößt jedoch dazu und schiebt den beiden den Mord am Falschen Hasen in die Schuhe, weswegen der Listige Lurch beide am nächsten Tag hinrichten lassen will.
