action

When the sons of the farmer Thomas and his wife Therese Stangassinger, Toni and Sepp, introduce their fiancées to their parents, they believe that they recognize their illegitimate daughters in the chosen ones. Through intrigues, the two now try to break the lovers apart in order to prevent a sibling marriage. Fortunately, in the end it turns out that nothing stands in the way of the double wedding. An old day laborer, who knows the connections and has made a business out of the matter, clears up the errors.
