action

The diamonds are handed over at the Oslo Stock Exchange
From the roof of Oslo City Hall, Valborg gives the Olsen Gang a signal with the help of balloons.

Egon, Benny and Kjell and his family have arrived safely in Spain after their last adventures in Norway , but they don't have much money left. You only have a miserable remainder of $ 500, but you also have to pay your bills for your vacation and luxury in Mallorca that you have enjoyed so far . But Egon already has a plan to get some more money: They want to steal the money from the Norwegian restaurant owner "Schwein-Hansen". He runs a large restaurant in Mallorca for Norwegian, Danish and Swedish tourists and organizes a rustic barbecue with pork on a spit for this target group . One day after such an event, Olsen believes that the best moment is because the coffers are always full. The Olsen Gang is now trying to crack the safe of the wealthy Norwegian restaurant owner "Schwein-Hansen". Valborg screwed up the coup, however. Unfortunately for Kjell, she made friends with two Spaniards on Mallorca, whom Valborg absolutely wants to introduce to Egon while he is opening the safe in the house of Schwein-Hansen . It turns out that Valborg's suitors are actually Spanish police officers. Egon is caught in the act, arrested and taken back to Norway.

After his release from prison, to the astonishment of Kjell and Benny, Egon is picked up from prison by a large limousine and pretends not to know them. As it turns out, during his detention he was in contact with the outwardly serious businessman Holm-Hansen jr. manufactured. He invites Egon to dinner at the Grand Hotel in Oslo , where he presents his plan. Holm-Hansen found out about Egon's mastery in opening Franz Jäger safes and hired him to break open a safe that his business partner, who had recently passed away, left behind in a Swiss villa. For this purpose, Egon is supposed to meet with Mr. Ziegelhofer, Holm-Hansen's Swiss liaison officer, who then accompanies him to the Swiss villa in question. Before that, Egon was allowed to relax for a day in the Grand Hotel, where Benny and Kjell, who came to see him there, harshly dumped him. But also Egon's client, the windy businessman Holm-Hansen jr. Egon does not want to give the promised 25% of the value of the booty. When Olsen with the Swiss liaison Mr. Ziegelhofer has arrived in Switzerland , Egon masters the task given him with flying colors. To Egon's horror, the liaison man triggers the alarm after the work is done in the villa, he is left alone and thus handed over to the police. At the last moment, however, he escapes and makes his way to Norway as a stowaway on a train from Zurich - Copenhagen - Oslo , where he returns to Kjell and Benny. Benny and Kjell have just returned from a small fishing trip, just as unsuccessfully, where they had stolen a few Øre from a photo machine in Egon's absence in Oslo Central Station . So they are all ears for Olsen's new plans. His goal is to get to Holm-Hansen jr. To seek vengeance for breaking the bargain and recover the spoils. The contents of the safe were nothing less than the Bedford diamonds, which had been sought after worldwide for decades and which Holm-Hansen is now selling to an Arab oil sheik for 15 million dollars or 70 million kroner. After the successful transaction with Holm-Hansen in the Oslo Stock Exchange, the oil sheikh wants to be escorted to the airport by the police in his Arab homeland. The police with Hermansen and Holm also find out about the break-in in Switzerland and are not allowed to do anything even though the trail leads directly to Norway, but have to support the illegal trade through their police protection.

Egon plan provides: Valgborg should sneak into the Oslo City Hall and signal from its roof with released balloons when the Oil Sheikh and Holm-Hansen have completed their business in the Oslo Stock Exchange , which is observed with binoculars. Kjell and his son Basse appear with their stolen uniforms as shunting railroad workers and block the Sheikh's route at an intersection to Oslo Airport with a "borrowed" locomotive. Egon and Benny drive a bus that has also been borrowed to the Sheikhs escort vehicle and pick up Bedfort diamonds there. The Olsen Gang succeeds, precisely according to Egon's plan, in stealing the jewels from the sheikh's car. When Olsen later wants to bring it back to Holm-Hansen to blackmail him with it, the bag contains nothing but worthless trinkets instead of the diamonds. Valborg swapped the jewels "as a precaution" and hid them well at home. To make matters worse, Egon, Kjell and Benny find out that she took the closet that kept the jewels in to a junk dealer. Meanwhile, the Biffen (Dumb Pig) is hired by Holm-Hansen to take care of Egon's final disappearance. Benny and Kjell break with Egon, who has meanwhile lost his mind, to the said junk dealer. While they manage to get the real jewels back, Egon is kidnapped by Biffen. At the last second, Kjell and Benny can save him and take out Biffen.

Egon of course immediately has a new plan: Kjell and Benny dress up as police officers and go to the same with Egon as the alleged “delinquent” who testified against Holm-Hansen. While Holm-Hansen was being "interrogated" by Benny, Egon was able to break into his safe unnoticed and pull out the three suitcases with the 70 million crowns. When the Olsen gang disappears with them, Holm-Hansen calls the police. However, in Holm-Hansen's safe, she discovers the long-sought Bedford diamonds in Kjell's midwife's bag, so that Holm-Hansen is arrested by Hermansen. Meanwhile, the Olsen Gang set off for Oslo Airport to finally be able to leave Norway for good. Egon, Benny, Kjell, Valborg and Basse can now return to Mallorca safely and 70 million kroner richer.

Reviews

"Overall entertaining - Knut Anderson had taken over the direction and managed to achieve not exactly the heights of elegance and humor, but at least hold the strings together and make it a partly entertaining film. There aren't any great highlights, but there are plenty of reasons to smile if you're ready to indulge in the folksy humor of these Olsen films. As usual, the script is thin, but Messrs. Arve Opsahl, Carsten Byhring and Sverre Holm play with routine. "

- Knut Bjørnskau, in Aftenposten , Oslo, August 8, 1975

“A pleasure indeed! - Thank God:. finally an Olsen Gang film that - after many attempts - manages to entertain a little. Even if, as usual, the level of ambition of the creators is not the highest. (...) The fact that Knut Andersen embarked on a “criminal career” brought about a pleasing freshness and abundance of ideas from a purely visual point of view. Gone is the limp, immobile camera and the hideous zooming - instead there is really drive. (...) Of course the script is really child's play, of course many of the situations are trite and stupid - but if the whole thing is treated a bit more generously on the part of the director and peppered with a pinch of irony, one is happy to overlook it. I never believed that I would ever be able to write something like that, but I write it: This time I really enjoyed the pranks of the! "

- Bjørn Granum, in Arbeiderbladet . Oslo, August 8, 1975

Trivia

  • The tourist who chases Kjell at the beginning of the film is Carsten Byhring's wife Bjørg Byhring . Aud Schønemann's husband Jan Pande-Rolfsen also had a small role as Grise-Hansen in the Mallorca scenes.
  • Some scenes were shot in Switzerland ( Feldbach and Herrliberg ); like the villa from whose safe Egon fetches the diamonds. Similar scenes with the Danish Olsen Gang were filmed in the same locations.
  • The two Danes, the actor Freddy Koch (liaison man from Switzerland, Mr. Ziegelhofer) and the film producer Bo Christensen (German diplomat) appear in both gangs, the Danish and Norwegian Olsen Gang. The same applies to the Spanish actor brothers Andres López and Pablo López, as actors of the Spanish police officers and bullfighters and as the admirers of Kjelds / Kjell's wife Yvonne and Valborg.
  • The actors of the Olsen Gang in the Norwegian remakes, Arve Opsahl , Sverre Holm and Carsten Byhring , had a guest appearance as drunken tourists in the Danish original The (probably) last prank of the Olsen Gang .
  • The presentation of the (Probably) last coup of the Olsen Gang (Olsen-bandens sidste bedrifter) should actually form the end of the Olsen Gang series and is also designed in this way; however, the next part was created a year later, The Olsen Gang sets the course . At the time when the Norwegian remake Olsenbandens siste bedrifter was started, it was already clear that in Denmark they wanted to continue with the Olsenbande, which was taken into account in Norway.
  • For the first time with this film the role of Biffen (stupid pig) is introduced into the Norwegian Olsen Gang. In this film, the role is played by the Norwegian actor Torgils Moe , who has a stature similar to Over Verner Hansen. In all other Norwegian Olsen Gang films, the role is then taken on exclusively by Ove Verner Hansen - as in the Danish Olsen Gang.
