action

There is great excitement in the Himmelhof of the farmer Florian Maderer, who lives here with his wife Genoveva and their daughter Hannerl. The solid Bavarian never avoids a fight. But this time, in the opinion of the state authorities, he took it too far; For eight weeks he has to swap his four-poster bed for the barren prison cot, after he has also ignored various summons. Then Genoveva comes up with the saving idea. Someone else could go to jail in his place and serve the sentence; someone who urgently needs money and is easy to influence! The ideal choice for such a fool is Florian's cousin Blasius. He is properly filled with alcohol and he is promised 1,000 marks if he gives Florian Maderer for a week and sits for him.

The next day, Blasius begins his prison sentence. But the farmer's cunning swindle is not as easy as everyone thought. First the prison guard Gruber appears and folds Blasius properly, then the MP Dr. Leo Dorn in the penal institution. He received an order from the Federal President to grant an amnesty to one of the prison inmates today. When Dorn learns that the Maderer of all people is imprisoned and that he is currently running for mayor's office, the false Maderer is now enjoying his early release. Dorn saved himself from having to inspect the beneficiary beforehand. For he does not grant this favor out of pure human love; rather he hopes - true to the motto: one hand washes the other - an advantage of his own. He wants to buy a piece of land from Maderer and hopes that the price will now go down.

A little later, the real Florian Maderer, who has no inkling of what is going on in prison, picks up his dashing daughter Hannerl from the train station and forbids her to have any contact with her childhood friend, with whom she is in love. After his "humanitarian act" against the false Maderer in jail, Dr. Dorn supposedly first go on a business trip. But his Trude does not trust her godly husband and hires a private detective, Hugo Zehe, to spy on her husband, who may be strolling around. Trude's doubts are not unjustified, because Dorn is traveling with his attractive blonde secretary Dodo. At Florian Maderer's farm, everyone involved comes together. Hannerl's friend, who was unloved by his father, and the false Maderer, cousin Blasius, who still has an account with Florian, also arrive. A huge chaos soon ensues, and the series of numerous misunderstandings seems to never end.

Reviews

"Poor, sometimes filthy slapstick movie."

- Films 1965-70. Cologne 1971, p. 135

“A boring slapstick movie with the most flattering gags from the clothes box; all in all an attack on common sense. "

“Silly entanglements on a Bavarian farm. Leaving nothing out - from the crudest slapstick to the tangible ambiguity in the dialogue - another particularly lamentable «German comedy» was created. "

When it was broadcast on television in 1988, Der Spiegel mocked : “Fensterl-Watschen-Gaudi (Federal Republic 1967, director: Rolf Olsen) with everything that should once instill humor: the Oberkrainers, Roy Black, Lou van Burg, Christiane Rücker, Ralf Wolter, Willy Millowitsch . "
