The Olsen Gang is a 1968 Danish crime comedy. Gang leader Egon, after being arrested during a failed burglary in a tobacco store, returns from one of his numerous prison stays. In the gang's usual meeting place, the innkeeper Hansen's pub and the adjoining brothel of the prostitute Connie, Egon, Benny, and Kjeld discuss their new plan: On the occasion of a Bavarian culture week, a precious exhibit, the so-called Kaiseraufsatz, from the possession of the Hohenzollerns is shown in the Copenhagen Art Industry Museum; the gang wants to steal this exhibit.
