Berlin shortly after the end of the Second World War : Otto Kackelmann and his wife are active as a cola manufacturer. He markets his product Ko-Ka-Ki as best he can. Daughter Lotte, known as Häsecken, is studying acting. One day she comes home excited, having won a raffle run by Quick magazine . She is now allowed to go to the Oktoberfest in Munich with another person . Her mother Hermine immediately committed to being a travel companion, especially since the family in Munich also has inheritance disputes to settle. Otto's uncle once gave his inheritance to Otto and his cousin Gustl Wurzinger, who is now the leaseholder of the Hofbräuhaus . The only condition was that the two quarreled men reconcile and invest the money in a joint project. However, since both are stubborn - Gustl cannot forgive Otto that he once unhooked Hermione - the inheritance now threatens to lapse. Otto, on the other hand, is also going to Munich, he wants to advertise Ko-Ka-Ki with his own stand at the Oktoberfest .

In Munich, Otto made the acquaintance of a variety show employee, Hermann Busch, who was eager to help promote Ko-Ka-Ki . Hermann also takes care of Lotte, whom he would like to make big, even if he lacks the means and connections for it. Lotte meets Gustl and his son Peter by chance and introduces himself to both of them as “Lotte Schmidt”. She pretends to work for Otto and tries unsuccessfully to reconcile him with Gustl. Meanwhile, Otto meets Gustl's wife Therese in the Hofbräuhaus and entertains her throughout the evening with invented stories from his equally invented time in Africa. After a meeting between Gustl and Otto at the notary's office turned out to be a disaster, Hermione contacts Gustl and arranges to meet him in a remote vacation home belonging to the Wurzingers. Here Gustl is hoping for a rendezvous with his childhood sweetheart. At the same time, however, Hermione indicated in a letter to Therese that her marriage could be in danger. Hermione and Gustl meet in Gustl's cottage and Gustl immediately tries to seduce Hermione. She admits that she is really only interested in a reconciliation between Otto and Gustl, which Gustl rigorously rejects. When Therese appears at the house, Hermione refuses to leave. In his need, Gustl agrees to a reconciliation with Otto and Hermione finally escapes through a side window. She runs back to Munich and is picked up by Gustl and Therese on the way. They go back to Munich together and the two women get along very well. In front of the Hofbräuhaus the three of them meet Peter and Lotte, whose incognito has meanwhile been released. Otto also appears shortly afterwards and Therese now realizes who the Africa explorer really is. The resentment between the two families about getting to know each other has disappeared, especially since Gustl sticks to his agreement with Hermione. The notary finally informs both families that, in view of the unlikely reconciliation of both parties, the estate has already been planned for the construction of an orphanage, and the Wurzingers and Kackelmanns agree to this decision. Lotte and Peter become a couple and Otto gives his company to the bustling Hermann Busch, who has been very committed to Ko-Ka-Ki in the last few days .

criticism

"The couples Fita Benkhoff-Paul Kemp and Liesl Karlstadt-Carl Wery offer the oldest puns and imperturbable swashbuckling of clothes to cover up the penetrating advertising for Munich, its Oktoberfest, its Hofbräuhaus and its 'leading illustrated magazine'", Der Spiegel wrote on the occasion of the film premiere .

The lexicon of international films said that the film was "despite the handsome comedians a shallow Bavarian fun with worn puns and penetrating tourist advertising".

“Two families are waging a dreary inheritance war,” summarized Cinema .
