action

The little orphan girl Lieschen longs to spend Christmas with a family. Lieschen secretly leaves the orphanage with a suitcase and meets the talking dog Willy Wuff in an S-Bahn, whom only she can understand. Together they go into town, where Willy Wuff snatches several sausages from the hand of the wealthy entrepreneur's daughter Dorle Bims in an inn that she had just ordered for her Great Dane, Doggy Dog. When doggy dog ​​Willy Wuff chases after and a big mess ensues, Lieschen and Willy Wuff run away in a hurry. When the moon is full, Lieschen and her four-legged companion wander through a forest and come across a stately castle. They go in unnoticed and marvel at the magnificent furnishings.

However, the countess and her son Robert, who own the castle, lack the money to maintain the estate. The income from the castle's own museum is not enough to cover the roof again. Count Robert therefore wants to marry Dorle Bims, whose rich father is ready to completely renovate the castle when he arrives. However, Robert is actually in love with the maid Babette. Shaken that Robert has become engaged to someone else, Babette finds it difficult to serve Dorle and tries to avoid her rival.

While Willy Wuff is chased through the castle by Doggy Dog the next morning, Dorle meets Lieschen and thinks the girl has got lost. Dorle leads Lieschen to the visitors of the castle and asks them to point to her mother. Lieschen randomly points to the crowd, whereupon Dorle believes Babette is the mother. When the engagement of Robert and Dorle is toasted, Dorle speaks to Babette ambiguously about her supposed daughter. However, Babette believes Dorle is referring to her relationship with Robert. Angry, Babette breaks several plates and puts a salad bowl over Dorle's head. Meanwhile, Lieschen and Willy Wuff are being fed by the kind servant Johanna in the kitchen. Then they introduce themselves to the Countess and Mr. Bims, who are only too happy to accommodate Lieschen's suggestion to spend Christmas together.

While Robert and Dorle get into an argument in their room because Dorle suspects that Robert is Lieschen's father, Babette writes an apology for her behavior. She sadly packs her bags and prepares to leave the castle forever. After Lieschen called the orphanage and informed the sister on duty, Mechthild, that she was okay and that she was in a castle, she found Babette and tried to comfort the young woman. Willy Wuff leads Robert to them, whereupon he reconciles with Babette. Robert has now realized that Babette means more to him than the castle. Meanwhile, Dorle has fun with a southern tourist named Miguel, who she had met repeatedly before. Doggy Dog and Willy Wuff meanwhile bring down the huge Christmas tree in the living room. Sister Mechthild finally arrives at the castle in search of Lieschen. On Christmas Eve, the Countess and Mr. Bims, Robert and Babette as well as Dorle and Miguel sing with Lieschen and sister Mechthild in front of the overturned Christmas tree. Mr. Bims proposes to the countess and decides with her to adopt Lieschen.
