action

Egon and Benny break into the Tower of London as disguised beefeaters in order to get to the red suitcase with the documents.
The Olsen Gang also comes to London and, after their successful coup, also over Tower Bridge .
The Oslo department store Steen & Strøm wants to acquire the Olsen Gang through a share trade.

This time Egon Olsen is picked up by Benny alone from the Oslo prison . This time, however, they don't go to Kjell's apartment together, but to Valborg's sister's urban apartment, where they then want to discuss their plan. Since Valborg's younger sister is very pregnant in the hospital, Kjell Jensen's family lives there in the meantime. Kjell is supposed to renovate Valborg's sister's apartment with Benny. Valborg also has many other "thousand things" to take care of, as well as taking care of the relevant preparations before her sister's birth. However, even after his release from prison, Egon has been changed: he attended a management course in prison and now wants to get involved in modern financial transactions. His goal is to get shares in the renowned Oslo department store Steen & Strøm . The majority of shares in it belong to the holding company TeamFinans , which has been in the red for a long time and therefore falsifies its books. Egon is tasked with getting the real books and delivering them to the banker Bang-Johansen and his employee Hallandsen. They then want to liquidate TeamFinans and pay Egon with the shares of Steen & Strøm .

This plan comes in handy for Valborg, as her younger sister is expecting her first child and is committed to helping her. She is also convinced that a department store has everything she or even a baby needs.

Thanks to Egon's ingenious plan, the Olsen gang succeeds in the coup at TeamFinans in a very short time. Egon then delivers the real accounts to Bang-Johansen's bank. Bang-Johansen belongs to a Europe-wide ring of multinational business people who own Steen & Strøm and who, on behalf of certain politicians, are supposed to take control of certain branches of the economy. Absolutely nothing of this plan may leak to the public. In return, Hallandsen and Bang-Johansen overwrite Egon for highly sensitive documents and the shares for their apparently speculative "valuable" capital companies, which later becomes Olsen's undoing.

However, Bang-Johansen and Hallandsen do not keep their word to Egon, instead Bang-Johansen has the department store Steen & Strøm closed without further ado. Bang-Johansen wants to travel to London to hand over the files to his business partners. On the way to the airport, however, he is stopped by Kjell's "borrowed" Frydenlund - beer - horse and cart and Benny picks up his car with the help of a forklift . Egon can then steal the document case from the trunk of his limousine. When he then confronts Hallandsen with the documents, he has the stupid pig kidnap him without further ado, in order to then finally eliminate Egon with an explosive charge. However, Kjell and Benny can free him at the last moment.

But Egon has a new plan and he wants to travel to London, where Bang-Johansen meets a dubious English business partner. In order to get a few flight tickets from the tour operator Saga cheaply for the Olsen Gang, Kjell dresses up as a woman. Unfortunately, Kjell can not leave Norway because his ancient and expired passport means that he will not be allowed to pass the passport control. Egon and Benny now inevitably travel alone to London to take the files, Bang-Johansen and Mr. Smith down again during their informal meeting. Afterwards, Bang-Johansen wants to get back together with Hallandsen and his business friends in Oslo . After Bang-Johansen arrived in London, he first went to the London Palladium to meet up with his English business friend. However, Egon and Benny have no opportunity to get to the red suitcase for the time being. After receiving the suitcase from Bang-Johansen, his English business partner Mr. Smith drives to the Tower of London . While Smith can easily pass the way to the tower, Egon and Benny are stopped by the guards, the Beefeaters . The Englishman stores the suitcase there in a barred room inside the tower. In order to even get past the controls and further into the tower, Benny and Kjell, two Beefeater guards, outsmart. They lure the two Beefeater guards into an empty tourist coach for a drink with a bottle of Beefeater gin and then knock them out and then put on their uniforms. Egon and Benny now pretend to be Yeomen Warders of the Tower and take over the previous shift. With the help of a special Legomobile , they open another door in the tower and get into the interior of the tower. The red case is there together with several wooden boxes Art & Kunst in a barred room. Egon and Benny make do with a bow and arrow and install a rope device through the grating. By means of an inflated Hellium balloon , you can now get the suitcase through the grille.

After they are successfully back in Oslo, Egon brings the suitcase to Hallandsen's office. Unexpectedly, however, Commissioner Hermansen turns up, who is carrying out a search there on suspicion of fraud involving Bang-Johansen and Hallandsen. Egon was able to hide in time, but the suitcase was confiscated by Detective Hermansen.

However, Egon was also able to overhear Hermansen, and so, when he meets his companions, he immediately has a new plan: Benny and Kjell first go to the police headquarters, disguised as press people, to conduct an interview with Hermansen for the newspaper Monavisen . Benny, as a supposed journalist, asks the inspector a few questions. Then Kjell goes with Hermansen as a supposed press photographer in front of the police headquarters to take a few impressive photos with him. Benny is now rummaging through the police station and stealing a few important police files on the "Bang-Johansen case". They also learn that Hermansen is supposed to bring the document case to a meeting between the responsible Norwegian minister and other statesmen. This takes place in the private house of the responsible minister, where Hermansen is supposed to appear there with the suitcase in the evening.

The next plan is for the gang to break into the minister's house during this meeting and steal the relevant documents there. Preparations for this coup are interrupted by a sudden phone call from Valborg: The birth of Valborg's nephew is imminent. Kjell therefore hastily drives to the women's clinic in advance, obediently, so that Egon and Benny have to carry out the plan on their own. As it turns out, Kjell took a socket wrench that was extremely important for the coup in his pocket, which is why Benny and Egon have to follow him and get the bag from the women's clinic.

Egon's plan is to use a tank to enter the hermetically sealed area undisturbed in order to be able to penetrate the minister's house. Arriving at the military site, Egon tries to open one of the 40-tonne tanks parked there. It turns out, however, that Benny didn't take Kjell's bag, but a real midwife's bag from the maternity hospital. With the help of forceps, Egon still manages to open the shell. He and Benny actually manage to drive to the minister's house without any problems, where they lightly hit Hermansen on the back of the head with the cannon barrel of their tank and finally let go of the now unguarded suitcase and the documents. When Egon shows up at Hallandsen the next day, however, he receives bad news: the negotiations have burst, the whole scandal has been exposed and the documents have consequently lost their value.

When the Olsen gang, in despair and without a plan, come together for further consultations, the police appear. Egon is arrested by the criminal assistant Holm for fraud, tax evasion and bankruptcy deferral, because on paper he officially took over from Hallandsen the now worthless companies such as Olsen-Holding, Olsen-Invest, Olsen-International, Olsen-Cooperation, Olsen- Export, Olsen-Import, Olsen Management etc. has taken over, arrested again and drives back to Oslo Botsen . In the meantime, Valborg's sister has become the mother of a son, and together with Benny and Kjell they go on a bargain hunt at the Oslo department store Steen & Strøm.

Reviews

“Weird charm - The Olsen Gang has a permanent audience that flocks to the cinema. That's a good thing. I myself have never let myself be convinced of the excellence of this series. I was also not convinced by this slightly antiquated farce-making, which was always spiced with a pinch of topicality. But this time it is possible to understand the weird charm of the series - The first 20-25 minutes: After the first 25 minutes, one could believe that the director Kunt Bohwim has misplaced the script and that - still figuratively speaking - the editor has the Scissors fell on the floor. We get to see quite a few lengths ... but two acting achievements can be highlighted: Aud Schønemann has an excellent charisma, through which she can define her caring figure and its eternal caringness in just a single second. And then Carsten Byhring, who knows how to express the helplessness of the Kjell figure in the few scenes where he appears. "

- Per Haddal , in Aftenposten , Oslo, August 29, 1981

“A feeling for the location - one thing you have to give Bohwim and his Trabanten: They have a keen sense for using the city (Oslo and London) and what is called" location "in film language. ... The Olsen team Opsahl, Byhring and Holm act in a well-known style and this time the chief police officer Sverre Wilberg is one of the most amusing supporting characters. "

- Arne Andersen, in Dagbladet , Oslo, 29 August 1981

“More peppy and fast-paced - In my opinion, this Olsen Gang film has more pep and pace than most of its predecessors. (...) This time the gang suspects the chance of an illegal profit in (London), and a cheeky theft gimmick is staged in which our heroes put on Beefeater uniforms. This is coupled with small fraudulent transactions in our capital (Oslo), in which Kjell (Carsten Byhring) is also allowed to participate. How does Carsten Byhring tower above the others in play style and comedy by a hair's length. This careful, shabby figure ... is a little fun. Size (Bjørn Granum), in Arbeiderbladet , Oslo, August 29, 1981 "

Trivia

  • The film sequence after the demolition scene with the Danish actor Dick Kaysø, on the other hand, was the only scene taken from the Danish original "The Olsen Gang never surrenders".
  • Biffen, the Dumb Pig ( Ove Verner Hansen ) also played in both Olsen versions.
  • The Legomobile used in the film was also used in the Danish model "The Olsen Gang never surrenders". Here the Norwegian Olsen Gang used it to break into the Tower of London and to get the red suitcase. This mobile is then used again in the Jönssonligan film Varning för Jönssonligan (December 1981), which in this case, however, used the corresponding Danish original film sequence. In contrast to the Swedish Jönsson gang, the Norwegians shot the scene again with Legomobil here.
  • In the room of the Tower of London, where Benny and Egon steal the red suitcase, there are also the same wooden gold bar boxes labeled Art & Art that were already used in the Danish and Norwegian Olsen Gang filming The Olsen Gang sets the course and the Olsen gang above Dynamitt-Harry på sporet occur.
