There is a problem with Piesolds: The grandmother, who up to now has thrown the flourishing household of the artist family living in a spacious home, enters the state of marriage again and quits the service. Since Günter Piesold as a successful television comedian and Gudrun Piesold as a busy actress do not have time to run the household on their own, and the three children quickly cause chaos, a replacement for Grandma Piesold has to be found as soon as possible. A young, attractive and intelligent man named Erwin Graffunda answers the posted ad.

Graffunda quickly got the household under control and was liked by the Piesold children. The neighbors, however, begin to gossip, that such a handsome man cannot possibly be just the family's nanny. The rumors go so far that Graffunda is not only considered a secret lover of Gudrun, but also the fatherhood of the youngest daughter Anne. It comes to a head and Graffunda leaves. In the end, however, it turns out that he is working on his dissertation on the emancipation of women and wanted to gain practical experience with Piesolds. He is also engaged, and his fiancée Marianne is expecting her first child - in the end all rumors are refuted.
