Spoilers ahead
Dr. Peter Bach, Peter Alexander, is a gifted and patient teacher who finds himself mistakenly assigned to Tuttelbach, a charmingly quiet village, where he ends up teaching at the local elementary school. The mistake is not simply accepted by everyone, as von Schnorr, the head of the Education Ministry, tries to correct the error. Yet Bach grows fond of the easygoing rhythm and warm vibes of village life, which makes him resistant to leaving. The turning point comes when von Schnorr, in a rare moment of clumsy fate, drops a burning cigar into the schoolroom’s wastebasket, and a quick-spreading fire razes the building to the ground.
