action
The three village saints are the three dignitaries of a Bavarian village who are suddenly confronted with their infidelities from times long past. A packet of possibly compromising letters advised by the district court of the district town causes a lot of excitement in the community of Scheibling, especially among three "honorable" citizens: the large farmer and intended mayor Hilgermoser and the two councilors Schmied Riedlechner and master baker Söllböck. Especially since the conscious pack is addressed to the teacher, who loves the mayor's daughter Vevi, but is not accepted as a son-in-law by the mayor. The Riedlecher and the Söllböck, but above all the Hilgermoser, do everything possible to get hold of the letters so that their wives do not find out about the sins of their youth. The official postman Postmartl, who likes to be entertained and looked after, but remains conscientious in his service, benefits most from this. Jaköble, who was supposed to be married to the farmer's daughter Vevi, is taken by each of the three guilty to be the illegitimate son, and in order to top off the mix-ups, Vevi, who is not interested in him, tells her friend, the blacksmith's daughter Annamirl, to take her place at her forced marriage - which Annamirl also gladly takes over, because she and Jaköble already got a little closer when he arrived. Ultimately, of course, all mistakes and confusions dissolve - after it has been found that all three councilors have paid for their supposed child for years, but that the conscious lady, who is admired together, has died childless.
