Overview
The 1930s in a Bavarian border village. The rich farmer Kapeller does not want to allow his son Franz to marry Lori, the daughter of the "needy" farmer Nikodemus Sterntaler. This is when Sterntaler's father-in-law Wendelin Kloiber, a hallodri and self-proclaimed do-gooder, appears on the scene. He cleverly takes advantage of the fact that the housekeeper Cordula and the Seeleitner, a square rat of the highest order, cannot keep their mouths shut.
