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. Romance also blossoms between Jochen von Roth and Angela. Helped along by a thunderstorm and a horse-buyer's cash, everything resolves happily, with Jochen proposing to Angela and Ethelbert promising to write often.
- DirectorVolker von CollandeStarsAngelika MeissnerHeidi BrühlPaul KlingerThe story is set around 1956, two years after the first film. What was menacing then has become bitter truth: The Immenhof has been closed by officials, awaiting auction. In the meantime, Angela has died, so Jochen is now a widower. 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. Dick is now expecting letters from Ralf, and Ethelbert may or may not transfer his attentions to Dalli.
- DirectorHermann LeitnerStarsAngelika MeissnerHeidi BrühlPaul KlingerThe pony hotel has just been opened, but so far no guests have arrived. Dick gets Ralf to design a brochure about the hotel.

An orphaned boy wins a two-week stay at the hotel. Luckily, paying guests are coming now, too. Most important among them is Dr. Westkamp, boss of a travel agency. Unfortunately, he keeps very much to himself. Quite unlike a certain Fräulein Gisela, who much to Dick's dislike seems to have set her cap upon Ralf. All is happily resolved when it turns out that Gisela is Westkamp's secretary. Westkamp offers Jochem a contract and Ralf a job; from now on, The Immenhof will no longer go without guests.
