After Hansi's sister and girlfriend want to move to Munich for their respective reasons, he decides not to be a hurdle in their path and let them pursue their goals.

Damn it, life isn't kind to Hansi: his wife dies in a mountain accident. The cheerful Tyrolean becomes a taciturn man. Only the pretty radio presenter Christl manages to melt the widower's frozen heart – up in the mountain hut. Reason enough for Hansi's adversary Viktoria to sabotage the young couple's happiness...

Bad news for Irmi Sandgruber: her son Franz has become engaged to her arch-enemy, the scheming Viktoria; it also turns out that Irmi is up to her ears in debt after a failed loan speculation. Hansi and his wife Regina search in vain for a solution. Viktoria offers to pay off the debts if Irmi and Hansi transfer the deer park to her in return. This threatens to cause a final rift between Hansi and the embittered Franz.

Hansi is elated and looks forward to a happy life when his childhood sweetheart Regina marries him. However, he is unaware that his rival is conspiring to cause a rift in his family.

Hansi Sandgruber is on the trail of a dangerous poacher and asks the new mayor of Schönbichl, Lois Mostberger, for help. However, Mostberger is much more interested in the latest project of the sophisticated businesswoman Viktoria Perterer: the construction of a covered ski slope. As her first official act, Mostberger closes the retirement home, which is in need of renovation. This brings Hansi's girlfriend, the TV reporter Christl Huber, who is committed to helping senior citizens, into the picture. Meanwhile, Viktoria meets the well-off Baron Friedrich von Lien, from whom she hopes not only financial support but also a romantic relationship. While Viktoria already fancies herself a future baroness, von Lien has fallen in love with the attractive geriatric nurse Lisa Blum. Due to an intrigue, she is suspected of being a poacher and is taken into custody – until Hansi catches the real culprit.
