Synopsis
Young Conrad Ludwig, bicycling through the Bavarian Alps, comes upon the Castle Ornstein. Conrad, who longs to live in a castle, immediately sets out to ingratiate himself with the Countess von Ornstein, whose noble title belies her dwindling finances. He becomes acquainted with Rudolf, the von Ornstein's footman, and after getting him thoroughly drunk, pushes him in front of a train; the enterprising young man is soon hired as Rudolf's replacement. Three obstacles remain in his path: the countess's son Helmuth, her obese daughter Lotte, and Klaus, the faithful butler. Conrad seduces Helmuth, but they are observed by Klaus, who threatens to inform the countess. When Conrad denounces him as a neo-Nazi, Klaus is exiled from the town, and Conrad replaces him as butler. For his next move, Conrad arranges a marriage between Helmuth and Annaliese Pleschke, the daughter of wealthy American tourists. After the marriage Annaliese discovers Conrad and Helmuth embracing and threatens to expose her husband and his lover. While taking the Pleschke family for a scenic drive, Conrad drives the car over a cliff, leaping to safety at the last moment. Lotte, who has observed Conrad's intrigues, blackmails him into marrying her, thus blocking his final move toward the countess.
