action

In the small Black Forest village of Rothenbach. There the red-blonde farmer's daughter Rosel is madly in love with the robust Martin, the son of the mostly grumpy, local sawmill owner, who also heads the village as mayor. Martin is a sportsman and has achieved fame as the goalkeeper of the national ice hockey team. Other women also have their eyes on him, above all the mature, elegant car dealer Vera, type femme fatale, who even visits him in the yard - much to the annoyance of the jealous Rosel, who lives next door, who immediately rushes there. When she sees Martin getting into Vera's fancy BMW sports car, Rosel resolves to make him jealous in order to get back at him.

Two young hikers, the advertisers “Oskar” and “Bambi”, come to the area one day and first of all get the broken-down car of a newly married Swiss couple named Gemperle afloat. The two of them promptly end up in a haystack because the brakes fail. The Gemperles can only see after their vehicle and now believe that those outside the range must be ordinary car thieves. When the two townspeople stop at the local inn in the evening, they hear that an important export good for the Rothenbachers, kirsch, is not selling well. The advertising experts immediately feel challenged and offer their help. In order to make the high-proof liquor widely known, they propose a choice to set up the "Miss Kirschwasser". The winners of the competition should put a Bollenhut on the label of the Kirschwasser bottle.

In the meantime, Mr. Winter, a Swabian emigrant from the USA, has returned to the Black Forest with his pretty blonde daughter Daisy in tow. Both want to visit Winters' old home and the old gentleman go to the cure. When Winter sees Rosel's portrait on the kirsch water bottle, he thinks he sees his childhood sweetheart in her and immediately decides to go to Rothenbach with Daisy. The contest is held and Rosel wins the contest. She hopes that she will finally impress Martin, who is meanwhile heavily hacked at by Vera. Daisy finds no rest on her first night in a hotel room because cuckoo clocks are tinkling endlessly from Oskar and Bambi's room. She breaks into their bedroom and makes a big deal. Then all three of them stop the cuckoo clocks together.

Mr. Winter learns from Rosel's grandmother that Rosel's mother, his childhood sweetheart, is long dead. Out of an old bond, Winter wants at least to do something good for her daughter Rosel and gives her a wish. In all immodesty, Rosel asks Mr. Winter for a car with which she immediately tries to impress Martin and also to annoy him. Meanwhile Bambi and Oskar dress up as Black Forest girls in order to better sell the kirsch in this costume along the tourist bus route. In a final show of strength, Rosel tries to make Martin jealous by pretending that Mr. Winter is more than just a fatherly friend. Martin, who has since broken up with Vera, sees this and actually becomes jealous for the first time. The two make up at a village festival, and the suspicion that Oskar and Bambi might be car thieves is also cleared out of the way. Daisy leaves open whether and for whom she will decide.
