Die Käserei in der Vehfreude plot
In the Emmental, many municipalities have invested in cheese. When the provincial town of Vehfreunde also wants to earn money from the cheese industry, the mayor (Heinrich Gretler) decides to build a cheese factory instead of the planned school. He encounters a lot of resistance from the women in the village and the pastor (Emil Hegetschweiler). The real problems start when the farmers dilute their milk with water and supply mediocre merchandise to make as much money as possible. When a cheese expert (Willy Fueter) from Langnau wants to buy the cheese, he discovers the poor quality and then pays an extremely low price.
