It is summertime at the Wolfgangsee. Josepha Vogelhuber, the young, attractive but
resolute owner of the White Horse Inn, has been courted for some time by her head
waiter, Leopold Brandmeyer. While appreciating his aptness for the job, she mistrusts
all men as potential gold-diggers, rejects Leopold's advances and longingly waits
for the arrival of Dr Siedler, a lawyer who has been one of her regular guests for
many years. This year, Josepha hopes, Siedler might eventually propose to her.
When Siedler arrives, he finds himself in the very same place with Wilhelm Giesecke,
his client Sülzheimer's business rival, and immediately falls in love with Giesecke's
beautiful daughter Ottilie. As it happens, Sülzheimer's son Sigismund, a would-be
beau, also arrives at the White Horse Inn. Angry at first about that person's presence
at the same inn, Giesecke soon has the idea of marrying off his daughter to Sigismund
Sülzheimer, thus turning a pending lawsuitinto an advantageous business merger. However,
Siedler's love is reciprocated by Ottilie, who adamantly refuses to marry Sigismund,
while Sigismund himself has fallen for Klärchen Hinzelmann, a naive beauty who accompanies
her professorial father on a tour through the Salzkammergut.
Seeing all this, Leopold Brandmeyer decides that he has had enough and quits his
job. Josepha has also done a lot of thinking in the meantime, reconsiders her head
waiter's proposal of marriage, and can persuade him to stay—not just as an employee
but also as boss. Love gets its way with the other two couples as well, and the play
ends with the prospect of a triple marriage.
