Liesel has studied hotel management at Munich and returns to her hometown of Hinterflüh, where her father and twin sister Susi run the family's inn.

Liesel feels drawn to Günter, who is educated and well-mannered, whereas Susi favors Toni, a wealthy and successful hands-on farmer.

Liesel changes Susi's attire and hairdo in order to resemble her own appearance and gives her advice on good housekeeping.

Originally created as a droll story for the stage by Hanns Kräly, it was first adapted as a movie in 1920 by Ernst Lubitsch and had seen remakes in 1930, 1943 and 1955.

This version changed the location from Bavaria, Germany to the Bernese Oberland, Switzerland, due to the female lead who makes use of her native tongue in portraying Susi.
