action
The old forester Ferdinand Aiblinger has seen a lot in his long service. He is currently tracking down smugglers, but this time he has to discover that the suspect is a harmless tourist from Berlin, is called Emil Zoppel and is at least as old as himself. Zoppel is extremely harmless, he is with his wife Mathilde only on vacation in the Bavarian mountains. Together with a servant and Aiblinger's two nieces, Barbara and Gretl, the unsuspecting “Saupreiß” wants to track down an owl that can be heard above all at night (but which actually doesn't exist here at all). In the village you can find that old Aiblinger has become a weird eccentric and it is time to replace him. A successor is quickly found, the new forester should be the robust Franz Sixt. Aiblinger is very angry that he was unceremoniously put on the sidelines and is downright enraged when he sees Sixt-Franzl entering the pension's own tavern one evening, where the two buxom nieces indulge in dancing. There is a tangible argument between the two very different men. Before the dispute can escalate, the new forester leaves the inn.
Neither of the arguers suspect that the smugglers persecuted by the old man hid their goods in the basement of the pension when they were disturbed by border police the night before. Now that the villains want to recover their smuggled goods, Sixt promptly interrupts them. To drive him out of his curiosity, a shot is fired at the young forester, which results in a flesh wound. When it turns out that the murder weapon is a service pistol and belongs to old Aiblinger, things start to move. The sawed-off forester is provisionally arrested for attempting the murder of his successor. In truth, however, the young Toni Moosbacher is behind the smuggling and the murder. The declared womanizer feels disturbed by the Aiblinger successor in two respects: firstly, as a force to regulate the woods and fields, and secondly, because he has also kept an eye on Gretl Aiblinger. The two brothers Benno and Simon Schaidler are Moosbacher's smuggling accomplices. Soon the playful Gretl tries to play Toni against the young forester Sixt, but in the end, according to the film about her homeland, justice wins.
