Plot

Thomas Mautner, who is very talented musically and popular with the ladies, prefers to spend his time playing the organ in the village church rather than working in his father's sawmill. When Thomas rescues the pretty Andrea from the life-threatening torrent, he senses his chance to leave his father's business for good. In the posh spa town of Bad Gastein, he hopes to gain the support of Andrea's father, who, however, is only interested in his property. Thomas can only impress Andrea's friends by imitating their extravagant lifestyle. But to do so, he constantly needs money, which he obtains by signing promissory notes from Andrea's father. One day, the moment of truth arrives, and Thomas experiences a bitter disappointment.
