However, they had managed to get a number of scenes with close-ups of Poul Bundgaard recorded beforehand, so the replacement did not mean much for the overall film, apart from the end, which had to be completely rewritten so that Kjeld was not included.
Benny, who worked in black for a taxi company, and Kjeld, who sits in a wheelchair and lives in a nursing home after Yvonne's death in 1987, both saw the broadcast.
The Olsen gang opens the safe to realize Egon's most significant plan: rob the English crown jewels.
Holm-Hansen consults detective assistant Jensen, who should have retired long ago but had to wait 17 years due to a computer error.
Jensen advises Holm-Hansen to check the only Franz Jäger safe from 1944 left in Denmark, which Egon will sooner or later break open.
After Hallandsen has obtained the documents, Egon demands the promised reward but is instead locked up in a dungeon in the Ministry of Justice, where he is again attacked by Bøffen and his assistant Alf.
Together with Benny and Kjeld, he can—with the help of a boat hook, a bottle of washing-up liquid, and numerous other remedies—take back the suitcase with the Wandenberg documents.
When the Olsen gang drives to the construction site of the Øresund connection, where the suitcase must be delivered, Ruth suddenly gets into the car instead of Kjeld.
At the same time, they meet an old acquaintance in Denmark - Kjeld's son Børge, who lives abroad as an international company manager.
Hallandsen wants to flee to Jutland, and Holm-Hansen gets appointed as his successor, whose first action is to retire detective assistant Jensen.
The film itself was generally scolded by critics, and even Olsen Gang creator and scriptwriter Erik Balling later regretted having made it.
