| Summary |
Egon sits at Lykkebo orphanage longing for a real family of his own. The wealthy Gyldenløwe couple contact manager Bollerud, eager to adopt a son. Egon is chosen, and suddenly finds himself the son of wealthy parents with a swimming pool and a mansion. He is unaware that the Gyldenløwes actually handed the orphanage manager one million kroner, in exchange for all the paperwork on Egon Olsen. After tearfully bidding Kjell and Benny farewell, Egon is shocked to discover that the Gyldenløwes in fact turn out to be crooks who are searching for a safe full of diamonds from the submarine Schnaps that sank in the fjord on the last day of World War II. They have plans for little Egon. But Egon and his friends find out about these plans. Thus the complications begin, and the chase goes trhough scary alleys, dark entryways, and booth over and under water. The Junior Olsen Gang has to use all their cunning to outsmart the crooks. |
