action

Since the student Hanni has been waiting at the «Wirtshaus zum Bären» during her semester break, business has been flourishing there, watched suspiciously by the widow Kramer. She has her eye on the landlord and believes the student wants to steal him from her. She spreads the rumor among the women in the village that Hanni is endangering the marital fidelity of the men. After her complaint to the mayor was of no use, the "sin-fearer" - as she is called by many men - turns to the pastor, but he only recommends to show kindness and forbearance.

The rumor is slowly starting to bear fruit: women use all kinds of tricks to get their husbands to drink their beer at home instead of in the pub. This angered the men so much that there were arguments in almost all families. When the Kramer woman loudly emphasized her virtue on the Sunday after going to church, Hanni slapped her in the face. The women then call the marriage strike. From then on the men found the bedroom doors locked when they came home from the inn at night. While some are satisfied with the stove bench, others use force to restore house rights. The drunken Wurzer decides not to at a strange woman fensterln and arrives in this way at the bedchamber of Kramerin. But she has longed for a hug from a man and therefore does not reject the intruder. Ironically, the leader of the strike becomes a secret strike breaker. But she cannot keep her secret for long; because the village gendarme saw everything and told the mayor the next morning. That in turn ensures that the news spreads quickly throughout the village. As a result, abuse and shame pelt down on the Kramerin. The women end their strike; peace in the village has been restored.
