action

Peter Schatz works as a porter in the elegant Parkhotel in Bad Hohenluft. When the charming Peter inherits 50,000 marks from a satisfied customer, he decides to go on a winter sports holiday at the Grand Hotel in Zürs am Arlberg. In order to look better with the snooty porter Blümli who works there, he pretends to be the cattle king from Argentina.

When he arrives in Zürs, Peter meets the beautiful Renate, the operator at the Hotel Esplanade in Bad Hohenluft and who found him so naughty on the phone. Together with her he throws himself into winter sports fun. It turns out that he is not the only impostor in the hotel. He brings the hotel owner Wilfried Adler, known as "the bird", to white heat. Life ends when the money is used up, but by then Peter has long since won Renate's heart.
