action
The story takes place in the north of Tyrol. The veterinarian Dr. Alexander Rell is a neat figure of a man and is very popular with women. His great hobby is mountaineering, which he has always dedicated himself to in the Alps. Since Alexander lost his fiancée to a lightning strike on a climbing tour years ago, Rell has become quite closed to single and other people (especially women). One day he meets the film actress Patricia Theotokis, who is on vacation and with whom Rell falls in love. She is also not averse to his advances, but before she can become Alexander's wife, she has to meet her professional obligations. Meanwhile, Rell is climbing again into the Kaiser Mountains . What he doesn't suspect: Patricia, who is completely inexperienced as a mountaineer, secretly climbs after him and massively underestimates the dangers. It comes as it has to: a storm on the Wilder Kaiser, as the title suggests, draws in and puts both lovers in dire straits. Finally Patricia crashes ...

Reviews
“A dance and cinema diva who is staying in an alpine inn to relax turns to the closed vet of the village and survives the dangers of the high mountains with him. Dilettante looking mountain and love film. "
Paimann's film lists summed up: "In addition to the beautiful landscape captured in successful camera technology, there is a weak plot in which better actors [are] lost."
