Toni (Jürgen Schilling) is the super stud of the small Alpine village. New mistress of the farm Gisela (Elisabeth Volkmann) has a very strict morale. Farmgirl Zenzi (Marie Ekorre) walks around without pants and therefore the farm has always the best hired men. Boss of the farmhands Hias (Alexander Grill) must keep the debauchery on the farm hidden from Gisela. Florian (Willy Harlander) wants to buy the farm back so he and his farmer friends (Willy Schultes and Max Grießer) must first get rid of Zensi to disperse the farmhands. They need an Italian Casanova to seduce her.

This is one of the most famous Lederhosen- sex comedies and enjoys cult reputation. The humour is lowbrow and the tone stays carefree whole time. Mostly the plot is about softcore sex in funny situations. The jokes are stupid enough to raise some laughs. There is also a fair share of Benny Hill- chases, Oktoberfest partying and polka. It can not be said well filmed or a good film but it has nostalgic Euro-trash feel with certain innocence of nudie comedies before more hardcore films took over the genre.
