action
When Simon Gigl's breeding bull Herod was awarded the gold medal at a livestock exhibition, the Stuckenberger Economics Council , who had a model estate, was a thorn in the side. Gigl's former maid Urschi Holler is quite proud of it, after all, it was she who raised the animal with the bottle. Stuckenberger, who knows that Gigl would never sell him the award-winning bull Herod, calls in the sly business man Alisi Resch, who is supposed to trick Gigl into giving up the animal in order to then confine it to him in a roundabout way.
Alisi Resch draws up a contract between Gigl and Urschi's husband Lorenz Holler during the celebration. This stipulates that Urschi goes to Gigl's farm for eight days and Holler receives Herod's bull in return. He plans to secretly sell “Herodes” to Stuckenberger, which Holler does not know. Intoxicated by alcohol, Holler signs the contract and Gigl also agrees, since he has always been secretly in love with Urschi. When Urschi finds a copy of the contract in her husband's pocket the next morning, she confronts him. He is horrified by his behavior from the day before and tears up the contract. However, Alisi Resch's argument that he will never get a breeding bull cheaper again convinces him to fulfill the contract. Urschi is also safe from Gigl's reenactments because his fiancée Rosl Lanner will be informed about what is going on at the farm and will arrive at the farm in good time. Urschi and Holler allow themselves to be persuaded and take Gigl by surprise, who had already forgotten the contract that morning.
After Gigl has handed over the bull to Holler “in accordance with the contract”, he expects a physical return from Urschi, whom he has officially hired as the new assistant cook. Urschi is able to save himself from the situation, but various rumors run their course in the village , especially since Gigl's fiancée has traveled to the city for several days, which Urschi did not know beforehand. She hopes in vain for Rosl Lanner's return for a long time and is always thinking about new tricks how she can evade Gigl's reenactments.
As soon as Rosl Lanner has returned from her trip, she hears strange suspicions from all sides about what is going on in the house of her fiancé Gigl. Rosl learns about the “contract” from Resch and wants to give Gigl a lesson. She tries to seduce Holler, but is interrupted in her efforts by Resch himself, who wants to pick up the breeding bull from the Hollerhof and bring it to the Stuckenberger. Rosl Lanner, however, succeeds in diverting the tractor with the breeding bull to the Giglhof instead. When Holler catches his wife in Gigl's arms when the train arrives, a fight breaks out. Rosl Lanner intervenes and pulls the brawlers apart. The town's mayor speaks a word of power: Rosl Lanner and Gigl should get married as soon as possible. For Holler, too, everything comes to a good end: Since he has withstood Rosl Lanner's seductive skills, also with regard to Simon Gigl, he receives the bull Herod.

“The agreement between two drunk small farmers - a breeding bull in exchange for a wife for a week - temporarily confuses two couples. In spite of the thin confusion it is a quite nicely played swing. "
