The single yard is a German play by Ludwig Anzengruber .

action

Agnes Bernhofer is in her early 30s and unmarried because her father was a bad role model as a drinker. Schlurmosser, a cousin who ran the farm until he came of age, would love to see his son Krispin as a husband. All attempts were unsuccessful until the new foreman Leonhard Brugger came to the farm. She introduces him as her fiancé.

Everything changes when the housekeeper of Röhrmoos, Leonhard's former employer, sends a letter in which she condemns him as the father of her single grandchild and asks the mayor to arrange for the alimony to be paid.

Agnes decides to investigate and concludes that the charge is true. Leonhard has to leave the farm. Agnes takes the child into the yard and wants to raise it. In the end everything will be fine because the child's mother just made it up.
