The castle-estate Dachenstein is located in the beautiful surroundings of Upper Bavaria and has been farmed for years by the young Baron Georg von Muckenreiter. According to the will of his uncle, the castle-estate is to pass permanently into Georg's possession once he marries someone and makes her the legitimate lady-of-estate. Thus, he must marry! George, a farmer, huntsman and a freedom-loving bachelor, has little love for that, which is eternally feminine and a revulsion of marriage altogether. To his great fortune, however, his friend Heinz Kuppelweger has arrived for a small vacation at the castle. Heinz knows a lot about the "noble women kind" and he's going to help Georg. First, he's going to help Georg with some correspondence to his future, young bride in Belgrade -- Beate -- who is as happy with Georg's romantic correspondence as is her father.
