A lighthearted heist comedy centered on a clever criminal trio executing an elaborate theft, built on camaraderie and witty planning rather than violence or darkness.

Egon Olsen is the leader of the Olsen Gang. While he was in the slammer, he planned how he would steal the fantastic golden figure Keizeroppzatsen.
