The villagers of Mauth are notorious for their stinginess. They are so thrifty that they can't even afford an organ for their church. When the mayor of Mauth goes to a wedding in the neighboring village, he attracts the ridicule of the entire pub society. Furious, he goes home and suggests to the local council that they should at least buy an organ to avert the ridicule from the village.

For decades, the villagers of Haselbach have argued and fought with those of Banzing. But this should finally come to an end: The local councillors decide to reconcile the two villages and the mayors want to seal the peace by marrying off their children.

When they decide to revolt against their elders, they are unexpectedly supported by a "stranger" who brings the reason for the dispute between Haselbach and Banzing out of the dark: the Holledauer Schimmel. Plots are forged, tender bonds of love are forged and in the end everyone ends up where they belong.
