content
Pastor Himmelreich and Thomas Springer are in a dispute: After an official has established that an island in the Wörthersee belongs to the community, they want to sell the piece of land. Himmelreich plans to build an orphanage on the island , while Springer wants to build a tourist center. As the mayoral election is imminent, the incumbent mayor refuses to make a decision between the two plans and postpones it until after the election. For Springer and Himmelreich it is certain that both will now run for the post themselves.
Springer begins to hang the small town with election posters, while Himmelreich cannot keep up with a significantly smaller budget. Smaller skirmishes , like painting Springer's posters, are followed by larger actions; In this way, Springer and Himmelreich learn independently of one another that the other has been invited to a meeting by the Prime Minister. Springer disguises himself as a kingdom of heaven and a kingdom of heaven as a springer - both appear at the Prime Minister's office at the same time and present each other in the worst possible light. The improper behavior of the pastor is reported to the bishop, who immediately wants to see the situation for himself. Meanwhile, Himmelreich and Springer continue to fight: Himmelreich sabotages Springer the inauguration of a chairlift, in which the Upper Government Puncher is damaged, and Springer in turn sabotages Himmelreich's inauguration of a new motorway stretch.
The bishop arrives shortly before the mayoral election and convinces Himmelreich to give up his election. Reluctantly, he gives in and the citizens are disappointed. However, Himmelreich learns that Springer is trying to implement his tourist center plan with the wrong means: He simply wants his men to occupy the island in the Wörthersee. And so Himmelreich sends his friends, including the photographer Rainer, to the island first, where the two parties eventually clash. In the end, Springer wins the mayoral election, but is convinced by the bishop to approve the construction of an orphanage on the island - this is the only way to win the voters for a possible election to the state parliament.

Reviews
The lexicon of the international film described Immer Ärger mit Reverend as "moderately fun entertainment in a vague reference to the ' Don Camillo and Peppone ' series."
Filmecho / Filmwoche found that director-author Harald Vock had given up the hot fight of the rivals "with camera gadgets and sometimes very cute dialogues". "After the first two episodes, one can predict the Reverend a long, happy film life for everyone who has fun in the turbulent everyday life of the small town of the clerical witch with the sunny child mind."
