The Olsen Gang in a Fix

An audacious yet bungled attempt to rob a savings bank ends with Egon jailed. The plan falls apart, leaving him behind bars and the gang's prospects in ruins. The arrest sets the tone for a new, uneasy chapter in their lives.

Egon is released from prison and rehabilitated by Bodil, a compassionate social worker. He secures a steady job at a toy factory and vows to live a lawful life. The others in the gang object at first, but they begin to consider a legit path as well.

With Bodil's guidance, Egon attempts to reform and stay on the right side of the law. Benny and Kjeld waver, but they start pursuing ordinary lives as well. The group inches toward legality, even as old habits threaten to creep back in.

Despite their new fronts, the gang is accused of a robbery right in front of them in the vault of the Danish National Bank. Police believe the theft was theirs, though the reality is more complicated. Motzarella's scheme lies at the heart of the crime.

Mafia boss Motzarella sends a team to rob the vault and plant loot, allegedly the Danish crown jewels, in a cello case. It later turns out the jewels on display at Rosenborg Castle are copies, with the originals intended for a secret sale. The gang realizes they are pulled into a much larger criminal plot.

To clear their names, the gang hijacks the cello case from departing criminals at the airport during an escape attempt. The mob tracks them back to their hideout, leading to a tense pursuit. The escape ends with renewed danger as Motzarella's crew closes in.

The mob tracks them to a Copenhagen bar, where a shootout shatters the place as the cello case is repossessed. The gang uses disguises and diversions to recover the loot again, but their actions draw more attention from both criminals and Detective Mortensen.

Using disguises and clever diversions, the gang tricks Motzarella's men and regains control of the cello case. But the success heightens the danger, as both Motzarella's gang and Detective Mortensen close in. The pressure mounts as the case becomes a symbol of their criminal past and uncertain future.

A long car chase forces the gang to recruit Dynamite-Harry, Benny's heavy-drinking brother and explosives expert, to help open the cello case at a remote gravel pit. The plan hinges on a risky explosion and a shot at freedom. Tension peaks as the gang gambles on a successful extraction.

Motzarella arrives from New York with a German task force to wipe out the gang and reclaim the jewels. Bodil tracks him, hoping to use him as a case study in rehabilitation and to uncover the truth about the bank plot. The chase shifts to an international scale.

Harry's attempt to blow open the cello case backfires, blowing up the German contingent instead. The cello case remains unopened, leaving the jewel mystery unresolved. Egon grows increasingly frustrated with the unraveling plan.

Motzarella arrives in a helicopter with a German unit and accepts handing over the cello case for a fee, enabling an illicit sale of the jewels. Bodil shadows Motzarella, continuing her rehabilitation work even as the criminals near capture. The plan shifts toward finishing the transfer of the jewels.

Benny and Kjeld return home to a changed life, expecting to face Yvonne, who has recovered many possessions with Bodil's help. The family is surprised but relieved, and a fragile stability returns to their world. The tightrope between crime and normal life feels thinner than ever.

Egon re-enters a bar and finds a nervous bartender trying to calm a place that has been shot up several times. Mortensen arrives armed and arrests Egon for a string of petty crimes connected to the jewel hunt. Egon is imprisoned again, ending his brief arc of rehabilitation.
