action
The story takes place in the old Bavarian village ambience of 1912. The setting is a village populated by an abundance of bizarre types. Mayor Kloiber is the director of the local virtue and virgin union. His second wife has not yet given him the hoped-for ancestor, and so the idea comes up to have the common marriage bed blessed by the local priest. She promptly becomes pregnant a little later. Franziska Kloiber, the mayor's daughter, has fallen in love with the hunter Martin Stadler, but at the father's request she is supposed to let a rich farm boy approach her to mate on a trial basis. Urschl Kranzeder, on the other hand, Kloiber's maid, swaps beds with Franziska so that she can finally get a move on the rehearsal night and thus find the desired lover. She is promptly made pregnant.
The waitress Wally, on the other hand, is an extremely loose woman who has already let 16 men close to her. Now a magistrate has to clarify who the father of her son is. Without further ado, the lawyer condemns all 16 of them to pay the pending maintenance payments together from now on. Fertilizer representative Emil Giesecke from Neuruppin, the only Prussian guy in this "amoral swamp", is looking for a white-blue local because he hopes that this will give him better chances of doing business on site. So it is a good thing that the farmer-savvy Bavarians have their Wally, which they can subjugate the “pig piss” who believes that it is an innocence from the country. Wally is thus demurely married, and the 16 reluctant maintenance payers off the hook. And finally there is the rascal, young Ludwig Steinbeißer, who also shows interest in Franziska and seduces her immediately. In doing so, he does the same as Martin, because he has just participated in an old custom: Accordingly, on the wedding day, the bride to be married is hidden from the wedding, and Martin, the rascal, has used this opportunity to quickly cheat again before he does is married to Franziska. So the Bavarian dance comes to an end ...

In the lexicon of the international film it says: "Created as an old Bavarian picture sheet, the film primarily presents slovenliness and religiously garnished ambiguities."
