Storyline
Lupin (voice of Bob Bergen) and his buddy Jigen (voice of
Steve Bulen) leave Monte Carlo Casino with large bags of stolen cash. As the
casino building starts to light the warning, Lupin and Jigen run to their
getaway car. Gangsters swarm to their cars for the chase, but their cars fall
apart with wheels coming off, et cetera. When Lupin discovers the stolen money
is counterfeit, he tracks the counterfeiting scheme and becomes involved in
political intrigue, restoration of treasure and rightful political power.
