The film starts like most of the Olsen-gang films with Egon being release from The State Prison in Vridsløselille. The gang goes back home to Kjeld and Yvonne to discuss the next coup. Unlike most other Olsen Gang films, this coup takes place in Jutland. Egon has got hold of a map which shows that there is a treasure stored in an old German command bunker on the west coast. To get to Jutland they must cross the then newly build Little Belt Bridge. But two other criminals (Helle Virkner and Willy Rathnov) have also got wind of the story. And the Olsen Gang does not made it easier for themselves by taking Yvonne on tow. At the same time they, mistakenly, believe that it is easy to fool the locals - especially they misjudge the wily scrap dealer (Karl Stegger) and his mute assistant (Preben Kaas). They soon become much, much wiser. A bomb left over from the war gives Kjeld a short, but very significant, shell shock, which causes him to stylishly carry out a terrific ride in a runaway dump. Not surprisingly, a planned Majorca trip gets postponed.
