content

Gretchen Sackmeier, meanwhile 15, lives with her mother Elisabeth and little sister Mädi with Elisabeth's friend Marie-Luise, her little son Pepi and the cat Seppi. She has not changed - apart from the fact that she has become slim just like her mother - is still a good student and still has two admirers at the same time, Florian and Hinzel.

Gretchen's brother Hansen stayed with his father and worries the whole family. He eats a lot and spends a lot of time with his disagreeable friend Michi. Finally it turns out that he and Michi founded an order of knights called "The Black Vengeance Cross", which is supposed to eradicate immorality. The two spy on people around them (especially married couples who endanger their marriage through affairs - Hanschen was clearly driven to do so by the separation of his parents) and terrorize them with threatening letters and the like. When the story is revealed, the mother returns to her husband with Gretchen and Mädi out of concern for Hans.

The series continued with Gretchen, my girl .
