Just gotten dumped via text message by her boyfriend, Ottilie Giesecke from Berlin cannot resist her father’s offer to spend a few days holidaying at Lake Wolfgangsee in the Austrian alps. Although the city slicker doesn’t think much of Schlager songs and mountains, she moves into the “Weißes Rössl” inn, where Dr. Otto Siedler immediately courts her. At least in Leopold, Ottilie finds a kindred spirit, because the headwaiter has been hopelessly in love with Josepha, boss of the hotel, for years. While the two cheer each other up, the next problem is already looming: Sigismund Sülzheimer wants to buy the Weißes Rössl in order to blow it up - of course out of heartache.
