action

Monika Dahlhoff returns to her father's stud in Germany after two years in the USA . The housemaid Gretl wrote her in a letter that her father Friedrich was planning to sell the stud to a Willy Genreit. The occasion is a dispute with his once best friend Jakob Reinhard a year ago. Friedrich and his horse keeper Otto organized the traditional Hubertus hunt . At one point numerous riders fell and Jacob's two best horses had to be put to sleep. Since only Friedrich's riders could pass the difficult section without problems, some landowners, including Jakob, turned away from Friedrich, suspecting fraud.

The enmity between Jakob and Friedrich did not spread to their children: Monika is enthusiastically received by Jacob's younger son Mathias. The older son Jörg, a womanizer and show-off, hears about Monika's beauty and bets his friend for two bottles of champagne that he can conquer the unknown in the shortest possible time - the goal is a kiss. When he meets Monika, however, he changes his attitude towards women: He actually falls in love with Monika, and although she returns his love and they kiss, he pretends to have lost the bet in front of his boyfriend. Monika is warned about the womanizer Jörg by her father and also by the housemaid Gretl, but she blames this on the hostility between Jakob and Friedrich. However, a former lover of Jörg comes into the village and exposes his earlier behavior in front of Monika. She also presents her with dozens of photos of Jörg's ex-girlfriends, which he has collected in a drawer. Disappointed, Monika turns away from Jörg and encourages her father to sell the stud.

Originally Monika had planned to take part in this year's Hubertus hunt. After her disappointment with Jörg, she decides against it and prefers to watch the hunt with little Peter, who lives with them on the estate. Jörg rides a daring shortcut while hunting that could bring him victory. However, Peter, who is looking for the white stag following the legend of Saint Hubertus , falls in front of Jörg's horse and is injured by it. Jörg, who is in the lead, turns around and takes care of Peter. Another wins the race, and Jakob, as the organizer of the race, must now listen to allegations: The route was too difficult for the riders. Jakob realizes that he did Friedrich an injustice with his allegations a year ago, since he himself is being accused of being innocent. He goes to Friedrich and asks his apology. Friedrich accepts it. Willy Genreit insists on selling the stud and Friedrich would be obliged to do so. It turns out, however, that Willy used to be a groom at Otto, who is not a groom, but in fact the former East Prussian landowner Otto von Lindenberg. So the sale of the horses can be averted and Monika and Jörg are now a couple.
