"I Tyrens tegn" (In the Sign of the Taurus) is the second of six films in the Danish adult zodiac series, and this time it tells the hilarious story of a small Danish town where Count Lieberhaus, a dirty old billionaire and generous benefactor of the town whose citizens he exempts from all taxes, suddenly dies, causing much sadness and issuing a well-written legacy to be read by the town council: he will bequeath his entire fortune to the first child born out of wedlock under the sign of Taurus, provided that, when they reach adulthood, they remain in the town, spreading the same generosity that he did. Should the birth occur outside the time limits of the required zodiac sign, the fortune will go directly to the "Association for the Protection of Homeless Kittens" in Copenhagen. The problem is that the people shelter themselves from sin under the sacred umbrella of decency and moral integrity, and the late count's desires for adultery blatantly violate the ethical precepts of the conservative political establishment.
Denmark abolished all film censorship before its Swedish neighbors, opening the floodgates for skin and sin to spread across local movie screens. While popular comedy actor Ole Søltoft was making his way through a variety of roles in erotic films, producer Anders Sandberg snatched him up to star in what would be called the "Zodiac Series" (only six were filmed), where each film was built around a different zodiac sign, each more erotic and pornographic than the last.
