action
Frede Hansen, a joke article salesman, travels to Odense by ferry . There is also a secret agent on board who is in possession of a briefcase that is confusingly similar to Frede Hansen's. Two menacing men in light leather coats have the task of transporting the agent to the afterlife during the journey. Before they can carry out their mission, however, the agent manages to swap his bag for Frede's.
On land, Frede becomes involved in the clashes of two rival organizations because of his suitcase, and he is imprisoned by one party and the other until he finally arrives in Copenhagen. There he is recruited as a new secret agent against his will. His tutor is the super-perfect Agent Smith.
The “leather coats” and their leader Kolick are supposed to render Frede harmless forever. Thanks to the supernatural abilities of the instructor Smith, however, their plan is doomed to failure. Smith has discovered that the Swedish night club dancer Sonja, who works with pigeons in her program in Stockholm, plays an important role in the “leather coats”. Therefore, the trip is now going to the Swedish capital, where Frede is supposed to chill the lovely beauty. Little does he suspect that this - related to him - received the same order.
Everything goes wrong with Kolick in the hunt for Frede and Smith; because the two succeed again and again in bringing down a few of Kolick's people. When Sonja and Frede meet, the spark immediately jumps between them. Kolick noticed this and received an order from his boss to bring Frede, Smith and the renegade dancer alive to the headquarters on one of the archipelago islands, which he succeeded in after several setbacks. Sitting tied up on a charge of explosives, the two gentlemen have to watch as Kolick prepares to kill Sonja with a circular saw. Before he can carry out his plan, however, Frede notices what the "leather coat gang" is up to: rockets are to be sent to Moscow, which are guided to the target by trained carrier pigeons. At the last second, Frede and Smith are able to free themselves thanks to a ruse and save Sonja. They escape from the island by helicopter.
In the end, the launching base and the wire pullers go up in the air, because ordinary pigeons are sitting in the rockets who want to return to their home loft.
Remarks
The film was also released on German-language television under the title Hau 'him first, Freddy . The Danish original title of the film Slå først, Frede! means in German : strike first, Frede . A sequel was made from this film: Slap af, Frede! (German: Relax, Frede ). In contrast to the first Frede film , this film has not yet been broadcast or published in German-speaking countries. Several well-known actors from the well-known Olsenbande film series star in these two comedies from the Frede film series - Morten Grunwald , Ove Sprogøe and Poul Bundgaard can be seen here for the first time together in a film - and they are also considered the forerunners of this film series. Initially, the role of Frede was intended for the popular comedian Dirch Passer - a regular stage and film partner Ove Sprogøes - who, however, could not reach an agreement with Nordisk Film about his fee. It was then Morten Grunwald, the recently with Virgin prank celebrated his breakthrough as an actor and, with the Bodil was honored committed to the role.
Reviews
“Surprisingly successful agent parody from Denmark, which requires knowledge of the characteristics of this film genre if it is not to be understood as a macabre joke. With this restriction it is recommended for ages 16+.
"Unsuccessful attempt to make fun of common agent films."
