What happens

Jönssonligan får guldfeber ('The Johnsson Gang gets Gold Fever') is a Swedish film about the gang Jönssonligan made in 1984. The film includes a famous scene, where Jönssonligan's leader, Sickan Jönsson, is tied to the hands of a giant clock on the tower of the Stockholm City Hall. The clock doesn't exist in real life, but was created for the film. The reason for this is that the movie is a remake of the Danish film Olsen-bandens store kup, and the tower of Copenhagen City Hall does indeed have a clock. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
