The Albanian military has developed a missile worth worrying about because, fired from the torpedo tubes of an attack submarine (archive footage of US Navy SUBROC test launches was used here), it could deliver a payload to any major Western European city from the Adriatic, or even hit the East Coast of the United States. Of course, Albania has never had anything like this, but that hardly matters to the plot. A man named Stanley, an Albanian spy, is now a double agent, and has stolen the plans for the new missile, microfilmed them, and smuggled them to Tangier in a woman's powder compact. Stanley has offered to sell the film to Danish military intelligence for $10 million. Naturally, Danish intelligence isn't the only party interested in the microfilm. The Albanians obviously want it back, and their chief spy is on the case with the help of an assassin dwarf. To further complicate matters, Stanley has rigged three seemingly identical decoy powder compacts with small but powerful booby traps.
“Agent 69 Jensen i Skyttens Tegn” (“In the Sign of Sagittarius”) was once considered the final straw in the Danish zodiac saga, and the funding tap for future productions was cut off. Unfairly, it was also the last film in the career of Ole Søltoft. While he was never a great actor, he undoubtedly managed to bring a smile to our faces in this mythical and silly saga, as wholesome as it was necessary. We mustn't forget that Denmark abolished all film censorship before its Swedish neighbors, opening the floodgates for skin and sin to spread across local movie screens. Furthermore, according to Scandinavian customs and culture, what was considered a “family film” there was considered pornography or “for adults only” in the US or the rest of Central Europe. The golden age of pornographic cinema had a great ally in Denmark thanks to this six-part saga that, unfortunately, never made it to its conclusion.
