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 teacher is involved in the delivery of the deliberate package, who loves the mayor's daughter Fanni, but is not accepted by the mayor as a son-in-law. 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. Jakob, known as Jaköble, who was supposed to be married to the farmer's daughter Fanni, is mistaken for the illegitimate son by each of the three guilty parties, and to top off the mix-ups, Fanni, who is not interested in him, appoints her friend, the blacksmith's daughter Mariann, with her forced wedding to take her place - which Mariann is happy to take on, 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.
