action
Kathrin, the eponymous girl from the Bohemian Forest, and her little brother Toni are confronted with bad news after their father's death: the parental farm is completely in debt, and that means that the two Haringer descendants, who have now become orphans, are leaving their home have to. The farm is to be auctioned to the highest bidder, and there is already an interested party in the wealthy mayor of the community, the innkeeper Porgauer. Porgauer is a growling, rumbling, powerful guy without any sensitivity and not very inclined to be accommodating. His son Hans is the exact opposite of him, and he has also fallen in love with Kathrin for quite some time. This soon leads to a dispute between father and son Porgauer, which leads to father and son separating and Hans leaving his father's company.
One day Hans is supposed to represent the hotelier Baumann in the big city (Munich), now in a row with his old man. Helga, the hotelier's daughter, is delighted because she has fallen in love with Hans for some time. When Kathrin wants to visit her Hans, Helga and Frau Baumann, Helga's mother, come up with an intrigue to keep Kathrin away from Hans. She is told without further ado that Hans is already engaged to Helga. Kathrin is bitterly disappointed and then drives back to the country. There she accepts the position offered by old Porgauer as a maid in order to keep herself and the little Toni and the sheepdog Ringo afloat financially. To make matters worse, one day Porgauer senior Kathrin also proposes marriage. A little later, Toni is suspected of stealing from Porgauer. In truth, however, the poachers Häusler and Lechner are the culprits. Fearing that Toni might betray them, they start a forest fire and lock the boy in a hut. At the last moment he is saved, and Kathrin and Hans finally find each other and celebrate a rural wedding party.

Reviews
The lexicon of the international film reads: “A touching kitsch story of a poor farmer's orphan and rich landlord's son, of wicked intrigues and sinister poachers. A straggler of the German Heimatfilm wave who comes up with almost all clichés of the genre; technically inadequate, naive and undemanding. "
In Paimann's film lists it can be read: "Apart from the conventionality of the fable, which wants to bring something of all that is powerful, its treatment is stylistically inconsistent by grafting on non-down-to-earth marginal figures and tormented High German dialogues."
Cinema .online says: "For something like that there is only cheek and mockery."
