Max Bachmann, the foster father of little Elisabeth, returns to Kaltenthal to pick up the child of the deceased Barbara. But the Mother Superior, who is now completely infatuated with the little girl, refuses to give the child away. She does not want to accept that the best thing for Elisabeth is to live with Max Bachmann. In the end, she even plans to flee to Cologne with the child. Mayor Wöller, who quickly returns to his old form after his amnesia, finally wants to dig up the monastery treasure. During the festive Corpus Christi procession, he climbs unnoticed into the monastery cellar and gets to work. Meanwhile, property developer Huber gets a copy of the treasure map from Marianne Laban and follows him a short time later. The two treasure hunters meet in the cellar vault. After a brief scuffle, they decide to continue searching together. But suddenly the earth opens up and both rush into an old, dried-up well. When the two finally think they are standing on the treasure, they are interrupted by Sister Hanna. Wöller is now sure that he has found the treasure. But in order to recover it, he must first buy the monastery back. He claims that his idea of building an open-air stage on the monastery grounds and organizing the Kaltenthal Festival Days has been met with great enthusiasm. And the offer he makes to the Mother Superior sounds very tempting: he wants to buy the monastery back for three million euros. (Text: ARD) German premiere: Tue 26.02.2008 Das Erste
