action
Julia de Weert comes of age. The De Weert stud farm, which her uncle Josef Kuhbrot had previously managed, is now in her possession. The stud was also supported by the entire family as a community of heirs. Now the family has arrived at the stud to have their shares paid out on the occasion of Juliet's coming of age. For this purpose Josef brought the lawyer Egon Krumm with him. He is supposed to teach the community of heirs that they have to forego their money: Julia de Weert has no assets whatsoever and the estate itself is burdened with a few bills of debt amounting to 300,000 marks. If the debt is not paid within four weeks, the property must be sold. The money is owed to Otto Bauke, who is already planning to divide the property into small plots after buying it. Julia however hopes to be able to hold the estate. She owes this not least to her cousin Roderich, who was banished to Batavia by the family eight years ago because of various escapades . Although he wrote six years ago, he has been missing ever since. Aunt Pennant had them looked for and only found out that he was bogus in Batavia.
On the occasion of a big harvest festival, a man unknown to all appears on the farm, who introduces himself as "Hans im Glück" and is soon only called Hans by everyone. He wins the shepherd race at the festival and is crowned a shepherd couple with Julia, who is also victorious. Both get closer and Julia quickly hires Hans as manager of the property. Julia soon believes that she has the unknown Roderich in front of her in Hans, as Hans sings unobserved about his experiences in Batavia. Hans, on the other hand, does not deny that he is Roderich. In the meantime, Uncle Josef plans to get his hands on the estate. He sends his son August, who is a permanent student, to the stud. He is supposed to get together with Julia in order to get the stud through marriage. However, August falls in love with Aunt Wimpel's daughter Hannchen. Since Hannchen should get together with Egon Krumm according to the family's will, Hans, Julia, Hannchen and August team up: Internally, Hans and Julia and Hannchen and August are a couple, but for everyone else they pretend that Julia and August are together. Hannchen also wants to take an offensive approach to Egon. The children manage to deceive their parents. Aunt Wimpel therefore gives Hannchen her shares in the stud, while August receives the shares from his uncle.
Meanwhile, Hans sets out to save the stud farm for his beloved Julia from financial ruin. He meets with Baroness Irmgard von Ottenberg, his sister. She gives him the 300,000 marks and money to pay off the community of heirs. The contract with Otto Bauke is signed just in time before Uncle Josef can buy up the relatives' shares. However, the relatives do not know anything about the buyer of the shares and the bill of exchange. When Egon Krumm learns that Roderich de Weert has stayed in the most expensive hotel in town, he is astonished because he pretends to be Hans, a stable boy. He suspects that Roderich has fallen into old patterns and turned crooked things, but he realizes that the real Roderich in the hotel is not Hans. At a meeting of the heirs everything is cleared up. At first Uncle Josef believes that he has bought the estate, but learns that someone else has gotten before him. Irmgard von Ottenberg, who is the financier, and the real Roderich at her side appear. Julia reacts hurt, but realizes that she suspected someone else in Hans the whole time. She hurries off without waiting for the masquerade to clear up. Irmgard seeks her out and confesses that Hans is her brother. He saved the estate from ruin because he loves Julia. She does not want the property for herself either, but only bought it to get a certain pedigree horse. In the evening there is a big celebration organized by Uncle Josef. He wants to announce the wedding of his son August to Julia at the party, but things turn out differently. Julia forgives Hans and they both get married. August in turn, to the horror of Aunt Pennant and Uncle August Hannchen, looked for a wife. Both bridal couples set sail together under Uncle Josef's organized fireworks.
