content
Hanele Wiesmeier's mother has long since died. A sister lives with her husband in St. Leonhard . So the old Wiesmeier was left with only Hanele. The pretty young girl has already turned down some suitors. Now the stubborn wood servant Veitl drives up in a single horse in the Steirerwagen and knocks for the fourth time - after his recent bankruptcy last Sunday. Actually, the handsome young man from Hanele only receives snotty answers. This time it's not about advertising. Veitl is on the way to Talham station because he wants to go to America forever. When Hanele wishes him all the best for the rest of his life, the “traveler” gives in that he doesn't want to go to America at all, but much, much further away. Hanele's curiosity awakens. Where to? Veitl pulls his “passport” out of his pocket: a revolver! Hanele suspects her current admirer wants to go under the bandits. Not even close. Veitl wants to give himself the ball. Hanele - coldly - doubts the suicide intention. The lumberjack lacked the courage to do so. The unwanted visitor now reveals the cards. He lied to Hanele twice and actually wanted to marry his bride, the beautiful waitress Kathrin at the Lindenwirt, in Talham.
The third announcement was also a lie. For the near future, Veitl will be working in the nearby high alpine Dreibrunnbergforst. When Veitl stays away too long, Hanele wants to catch him and falls for a ruse: The chaplain of St. Georgen announces from the pulpit that the Wiesmeier daughter is going to the monastery. When the Veitl is still in coming, Hanele simulates a serious illness. Veitl comes to that, but Hanele watches from behind her curtain as this Hallodri with a dirndl walks past the Wiesmeierhof with great pleasure.
Before Christmas, the balmy breezes blow down from the mountains as if spring is near. One day before Christmas Eve, an avalanche buried the loggers' hut on the steep Dreibrunnberg. Old Wiesmeier also rushes to help with a horse-drawn sleigh and seven farmhands. Some buried subjects can be dug up alive. When the next avalanche threatens, the rescuers have to think about themselves and retreat down the slope with the rescued people. A young man from Wiesmeierhof continues digging without batting an eyelid until he finally finds Veitl alive.
When Veitl wants to thank Hanele in the Wiesmeierhof - the girl is just taking off her wet shoes from rescue operations - she denies her lover's assumption: she did not dress up as a boy on the mountain.
In any case, they both get married and have wonderful children. At his silver wedding, Veitl confesses to the narrator: “My Hanele, that's one! As hard as it was to get it, it's so easy to keep. "
