In the Ötztal Alps, wealthy farmer Fender and his daughter Wally run a modest farm.

After she impulsively takes a vulture chick and is attacked, Joseph rescues her, earning the nickname “Geierwally.” Jealousy and misunderstandings arise, leading Wally to challenge anyone who can kill Joseph, while Vincent plots to win her hand.
