action
Werner Blücher has just been released from prison. But because it is exactly what one would call in common parlance as a true thoroughbred crooks, the savvy planning rascal again a new coup. Blücher received the information from a fellow inmate that a safe can be found in the warehouse of the seedy entrepreneur Leo Kaiser, in which 200,000 euros of the black money embezzled by Kaiser are hidden. Together with his two companions Andy Walz and Ollie Ambusch, who are often a bit clumsy and clumsy, Blücher now wants to crack the safe as quickly as possible and get the windfall. But when the three of them finally open the money safe, they find nothing but a lot of dust inside. Because apart from one key, the otherwise strictly guarded safe is completely empty. But when Blücher, Andy and Ollie find out that the key fits the entrance gate of a large warehouse in which a million dollar surprise is waiting for them, there is no stopping them. You implement a plan that was ingeniously devised by Blücher. Because in the warehouse Kaiser is hoarding a lot of banknotes in huge tobacco sacks, which were actually intended for destruction and which he instead illegally removed aside. After the three friends have taken away the money bags, which weighed tons, and in their opinion they have hidden them safely, the problems only really start. Because not only the emperor and his men are now feverishly looking for Blücher, his two partners and the treasure trove they have stolen. The police, represented in person by the fanatical Chief Inspector Schmitz-Kasselhoff and her idiot assistant Müller Zwo, are already hot on the heels of the gang. However, the criminalists are of the opinion that possibly no tobacco shipment was stolen, but that Kaiser just wants to cheat the insurance company again. Therefore, the entrepreneur is not very interested in the police looking for the missing goods.
Meanwhile, the Blücherbande is not entirely in agreement about when to distribute their prey. Since Ollie and Andy are financially down and are longingly hoping for some cash, their boss Blücher has given the instruction not to touch the money for a few months. Andy cannot resist the temptation and as a precaution packs his briefcase full. His wife is excited about the sudden windfall and goes shopping straight away. As a result, Kaiser quickly finds out about her and kidnaps her without further ado.
Blücher is now on the offensive and offers Kaiser his own money again, but wants three million in foreign currency and Susanne Walz to return it safely. Kaiser accepts the offer, but when he comes to the house where the sacks are hidden, it is ablaze and the banknotes are flying through the hot air. But even Blücher underestimated Kaiser, because instead of the millions, he only got $ 12,000. But Blücher wouldn't be Blücher if he didn't have another new plan. And the sum is sufficient as start-up capital. Ollie and Andy are not very enthusiastic, after all, they had other plans for their prey.

criticism
TV Spielfilm says: “It's a shame about these likeable stars”.
Andre Mielke called the film in the world “a shockingly dreary comedy”; the numerous plot elements based on the example of the Danish Olsen Gang are "mechanically processed" and are "far removed from slapstick or puns".
The freelance television and film critic Tilmann P. Gangloff judges in tittelbach-tv u. a. that the film "The Blücherbande" no longer wants to be "as a crook comedy", but which tells its story in an "extremely likeable, pleasantly old-fashioned way". The production lives "almost exclusively from its title actors" and is "heavily cast" right down to the supporting roles
Quotemeter.de called the film "a calm, but still quite entertaining rogue gear, which does not leave a lasting impression, but fully fulfills the purpose of a nice evening entertainment."
