Herr Haselgruber ist in einem kleinen Wiener Bezirksgericht Amtsdiener aus Leidenschaft. Nebenbei gibt er unentgeltlich Rechtsberatung im Kaffeehaus von Frau Pieringer und wohnt bei deren besten Freundin Frau Hopfstangl. Wegen eines Heiratsschwindlers geraten die beiden Damen aber eines Tages aneinander. Der Prozess wird ausgerechnet in jenem Bezirksgericht ausgetragen, in dem Herr Haselgruber tätig ist.

Herr Haselgruber exercises his profession as a government clerk in a small Viennese district court with passion. In addition, he provides free legal advice in Frau Pieringer's cafe and lives with her best friend, Frau Hopfstangl. The two women cross paths a little too closely when, one day, a trial involving the two of them and a marriage swindler ends up in the very district court, in which Herr Haselgruber works.

THERE IS A NEWSREEL PREVIEW BEFORE THE FILM, JUST AS GERMAN AUDIENCES MIGHT HAVE SEEN WHEN THE MOVIE WAS FIRST SHOWN (except this newsreel may not be contemporary to when the film was released).

DVD-R IS IN GERMAN WITH NO SUBTITLES (except for the Newsreel). APPROX. 145 MINS. COMBINED TOTAL. VERY GOOD FILM QUALITY OVERALL.
