content
Marianne Klockenhoff runs a children's home in Alpsee, a small town in the mountains of Tyrol . Dorle works there as a nurse. The young woman is courted by two men from the village, the easy-going Franzl and the jolly Mr. Lenz. Franzl repeatedly gives Dorle cause to doubt his love for her. The young man would like to leave the place to practice his learned profession as a hotel manager in the big city with the aim of becoming a hotel manager.
In town he met Beate Klockenhoff and her daughter Christine by chance. Beate, who wants to divorce her husband Philipp, gets on well with Franzl and wants to help him get a job in a hotel in Baden-Baden . In order to prepare for the divorce from her husband, Beate would like to temporarily place eight-year-old Christine in the children's home of her sister-in-law Marianne in Alpsee.
At the big rose festival, Franzl competes with Beate against Dorle and Mr. Lenz. Franzl manages with a trick to make Beate the rose queen. The event is then celebrated at Franzl's aunt, the tailor's landlady. At the same time, Christine, who has learned from her mother that she will live apart from her father in the future, hopefully heads for the mountains because Dorle has told her that wishes come true when you pick an alpine rose . She longs for a life with her father and mother.
After Christine's disappearance from the home is noticed, a search party under Franzl's leadership sets out to find her. At the same time, her father Philipp is on his way to the Tyrolean mountains, because he was longing for his daughter. Together with Christine's dog, who has taken up the child's trail, he hurries off into the mountainous landscape. Christine, who fell off a rock, is found by her dog. Franzl is now at the scene of the accident with his search party and lets himself be rappelled to save the girl. After he has succeeded in doing this, a stone hits him on the head as he is pulled up, causing him to pass out.
After all, Christine's daring action has something good: her parents recognize that they belong together and Franzl now also knows that he belongs to Dorle. When his aunt, the landlady of the Alpenhof inn, lets him know that she wants to hand over the management of the inn to him, the young couple is perfectly happy.

criticism
Adolf Heinzlmeier and Berndt Schulz awarded one of four possible stars, which corresponds to the rating “weak” and rated “Films on TV” as follows in the lexicon:
"The mass roster of stars [...] does not prevent the blasmusical booming idling of this sentimental alpine rush."
"Fake Heimatfilm."
“A shallower Heimatschnulze from Richard Häussler and Hans Deppe, who also produced the flick. Despite the good cast, this is an example of the typical Heimatfilm of the 1950s. In the Adenauer era, cinema was once again something where you forgot the worries of the post-war years and let yourself be entertained by dream couples à la Rudolf Prack and Sonja Ziemann. "
