First to fifth picture
The owner of the “Zum Salzburger Nockerl” inn, Alois Oberfellner, has run down his restaurant completely, so that he is now broke. Tomorrow the economy is to be auctioned. Toni Haberl, the host of the “Blauer Enzian”, thinks he has a good chance of being awarded the contract. However, he still lacks the right staff, especially for management and the kitchen. He has considered Vroni Staudinger as a candidate for these tasks. She has the reputation of being the best pastry cook in Salzburg. He also knows that he is not unsympathetic to her. So what could be more natural than to propose to her? Vroni is on fire when she hears Toni's intentions. She quickly staged a falling out with her boss. As a result, you will be terminated without notice.
The perfumery manufacturer Max Liebling has his eye on Erika Dahlmann. But she only raves about the racing driver Frank Rex. He in turn adores Steffi Oberfellner, niece of the insolvent Nockerlwirt. Steffi has just arrived from Vienna to give her uncle a helping hand during the main season. She worries that his inn should come under the hammer.
In order to avoid Erika's penetrating pursuits, Frank has swapped clothes with a mountain guide. Under the name "Franz Rieger", he flatters Steffi and listens to her worries. Then he instructs his mechanic FW Knopp to bid for the “Salzburger Nockerl” and to recruit Steffi as a housekeeper. He succeeds in doing this, which causes displeasure in Toni and Vroni. At Steffi's request, Knopp also hires the "mountain guide Franz Rieger" as a house boy.
While Toni feels more and more drawn to Steffi Oberfellner, Vroni unabashedly tied up with the perfumery manufacturer. Toni and Vroni get into an argument about this, which ends with Vroni dumping her newly fiancé and overflowing with the competition.
In the meantime Christian Dahlmann and his daughter Erika have found out where Frank Rex is hiding from them. They bluntly tell Steffi Oberfellner who their adored "Franz Rieger" really is. Steffi now believes that she was caught by a fraudster. She quickly lets herself be hired as a cook at the “Blauer Enzian”. The result of this hubbub are three couples, of which at least one part feels nothing for the other.
The next day, all those involved meet again in the pilgrimage site of Maria Plain, where a festival with dance is celebrated. Olga Rex, the life-wise and practical aunt of the racing driver, now pulls the strings and ensures that the ball untangles and that the right couples find each other again in harmony: Frank and Steffi, Toni and Vroni as well as Max and Erika.
