action

In order to be sent home from the boarding school, Ludwig cuts the beard of his teacher Hauptmann a. D. Semmelmaier exits while he's taking a nap.

Finally back home, of course he has to go back to the local high school, which the director is not very happy about. His old classmates, on the other hand, are celebrating his return.

The wedding of Ludwig's sister Ännchen to the young Karl Schultheiss, whose father owns a brewery in Berlin, is about to take place at Thoma. Early in the morning the village choir serenades the bride, which annoys Ludwig, whereupon he tries to disrupt the singing. When his sister tries to put on her wedding dress, it suddenly rips, and Ludwig is supposed to quickly fetch the seamstress. But of course he's strolling around and catching fish first. The seamstress finishes at the last minute and Ännchen arrives at church just in time.

Unexpectedly, Aunt Frieda arrives for the wedding and immediately announces that she wants to stay a little longer so that the fare pays off. Ludwig is already thinking about his next trick: He pours ink into the holy water at the exit of the church so that everyone who crosses themselves there has blue paint on their faces. At the wedding party, Ludwig sits down next to the good Max, whom he constantly encourages to drink, so that the model student is completely drunk after a short time when he has to recite a poem to honor the bride and groom. Ludwig uses the time and puts a hedgehog in bed for the bridal couple.

One of the wedding guests, Rittmeister von Stuelphagel, leaves no doubt about his interest in women. He's also targeting Ludwig's beautiful cousin Cora, who lives with Thomas. Ludwig promises to help him, but he puts the ladder to the window on the wrong window, and the Rittmeister ends up in Aunt Frieda's room, so that he quickly retreats. But he makes a second attempt and sends Cora a bouquet of flowers with an invitation to a rendezvous. Ludwig doesn't bring the flowers to Cora, but to Aunt Frieda.

When Ludwig tries to write a letter to a girl he is secretly in love with, the chaplain discovers it and gives it to the director. As a punishment, he is to be admitted to a reformatory and is first placed in police custody. As the Prince Regent Luitpold of Bavaria appears on a hunt in Ludwig's village, Aunt Frieda asks for an audience and mercy for her nephew. This is an honor for the Prince Regent, because he knew Ludwig's late father, Max Thoma, from his childhood days when he was in royal service. He also ordered the district hunter Franz Reiser to come to him and promoted him to the district forester. With this, Franz Cora is on a par with her rank and immediately proposes marriage to her, which Ludwig is a little annoyed, since the wedding is already back.

Reviews

The Heyne film lexicon found 1996: "Hanebuechen disjointed film adaptation of Ludwig-Thoma-texts and other inventions."

The film-dienst writes: "The profound protest against social conventions and clerical untruthfulness is unnecessarily coarsened by a drastic narrative and some personalities."

With the Protestant film observer : “New rascal stories, which in terms of milieu drawings and depictions of people, hardly allow the humorous original book to be suspected. Significant drop in performance compared to the first part under Käutner's direction. From the age of 12 possible, but not recommended. "
