action
Benedikt Oberbucher assures his journeyman Hans Brandtner that he has now overtaken him in the art of violin making and that he should inherit his business one day when he is no longer there. He doesn't think he'll ever get married and have children, and he loves him as much as a son. Shortly afterwards, Ms. Schröder alerts the mountain rescue service, of which Hans is also a member, because her daughter Christine is missing. The young lady fell while skiing and sprained her foot. It is found by Franz Lechner, who carries it to his mountain hut. He thinks it is necessary that she stay there overnight and try to approach her. However, she firmly rejects him. When he later tries again, Christine is freed from her precarious situation by Hans and Otto, who also works at Oberbucher and is a member of the mountain rescue service, and takes her to the valley.
As a result, Hans and Christine fall in love, which the young woman's mother dislikes. When Christine gets tired of the secrecy after a while and confesses to her mother that she and Hans love each other and want to get married, her mother says without further ado that she should get it out of her head, nothing will come of it.
Meanwhile, Oberbucher makes his journeyman an offer. He is supposed to go to his brother in Milan for a year in order to perfect himself further in the art of violin making. Hans speaks to Christine and assures her of his love and that a year will be over quickly. He could earn good money there that would help them with their planned marriage. He will write to her regularly, which he does. However, the letters are intercepted and destroyed by Maria Schröder, who is also influenced by her neighbor, Mrs. Vogel. One night, a fire breaks out in the Schröders' house, leaving them homeless too. Benedikt Oberbucher takes mother and daughter into his house. As a result of the disappointment and excitement, Christine falls seriously ill. Well again, Christine notices that Hans is writing to his master and even informing him that he will probably stay longer than a year. Now she is finally convinced that he has forgotten her. When Oberbucher asks Maria Schröder for Christine's hand, she encourages the girl because she herself thinks it is very lucky to have Christine at the side of the wealthy master violin maker. When Christine, after initially hesitating, agreed to a wedding, Oberbucher immediately wrote this happily to Hans, but without mentioning the bride's name. Hans will be back for his wedding just in time, he lets the young man know. Hans arrives on the same day as the wedding between Christine and his master in the church. Deeply disappointed, he recognizes his Christian in the bride .
When Hans wants to say goodbye to Oberbucher the next morning to go back to Italy, there is a conversation with Christine and the error with the letters is cleared up. Oberbucher happened to overhear the conversation and realized why his wife had turned him down the night before. While Hans hurries to the train, Oberbucher writes a letter and then goes into the mountains. Christine runs after Hans with the letter in her hand, who is shocked and says: “Just not that.” On the mountain, Oberbucher meets Lechner, who makes a derogatory remark, which leads to a scramble between the men and a shot loosens from Lechner's weapon and meets Benedikt Oberbucher. “No”, he couldn't help it, Oberbucher confirms to the worried Lechner. When Hans and Christine reach the hut to which Oberbucher has been brought by Lechner, the good-hearted man says that now he and Christl could still be happy together and gives the young couple his blessing. Then he closes his eyes forever.
