Dr. Philip Hansen and his wife agreed to move from Hamburg to Black Forest small town Waldau, but their 'uprooted' kids doubt if the countryside is better to grow up without urban comforts. Mayor Vinzenz Grieshaber reneged on his promise to welcome them, grumbling the new vet won't be what the village needs, but his wife sends junior son Jonas over with the key -without they were locked out) and a cake, which gets spoiled on the tractor. Vinzenz plans to put down aged hunting dog Oswald, but firstborn Jakob warns Jonas in time to hide the dog, and his new classmate, Hansen's daughter, convinces him to seek veterinary help, which works.
