The Jantzens have owned the 18th-century manor horse "Immenhof" for over 100 years, breeding and selling ponies. Jochen von Roth has only recently returned from POW camp and is now trying to establish a stud farm in the old forester's house about 5 kilometers from the manor house. Both Oma Jantzen and von Roth are struggling with finances. Debt might force Oma Jantzen to face auctioning off her possessions. Into this situation arrives Ethelbert, the sisters' posh big-city cousin, making a fool of himself in his red-and-white riding gear, falling off ponies and into traps, but Dick feels drawn to him.

Oma Jantzen and Angela's younger sisters Dick and Dalli live with him in the forester's house. To save the manor house, Dalli has started a "pony circus" with the village children in the barn, while Dick has given up hope of Ethelbert ever returning; he hasn't written in over a year. She doesn't know he's already on his way, bringing along his university friend Ralf. When Ethelbert learns from Dalli that Dick and Ralf are getting much better acquainted than he was bargaining for (we're talking about getting to first-name basis here, it's the 1950s), and he also learns of the trouble the Immenhof is in, he secretly summons his rich uncle Pankraz and his beautiful daughter Margot to the forester's house. After many pranks the ponies and Dalli's gang of would-be cowboys play on Pankraz, he finally caves in, saves the Immenhof, and allows his daughter to marry Jochen.
