In the twilight of his career, gentleman thief Lupin the Third's latest and greatest heist has hit a snag. What should have been bags of cash from a national casino turns out to be nothing more than a sack of expert counterfeits! Together with his partner-in-crime Jigen, Lupin heads to the rumored source of the bills, the remote European nation of Cagliostro, to exact revenge.
However, not everything goes as planned; the two encounter Clarisse, a royal damsel in distress being forced to marry the sinister Count Cagliostro against her will. Saving her won't be easy, as Lupin and Jigen - together with Lupin's unpredictable ex-girlfriend Fujiko and the swordsman Goemon - must first fight their way through a trap-filled castle, a deadly dungeon, and an army of professional assassins. Can Lupin rescue the girl, evade the cuffs of his long-time nemesis Inspector Zenigata, and uncover the secret treasures of the Castle of Cagliostro?
