Following a seemingly straightforward heist, Lupin III and his trusted companion Jigen find themselves entangled in a perplexing mystery. The stolen funds are revealed to be incredibly sophisticated counterfeits known as "Gothic Bills," prompting their journey to the secluded nation of Cagliostro.

He intends to seize her family’s inheritance through an arranged marriage.

As the group converges on the imposing Cagliostro Castle, Lupin's past connection to the location resurfaces, unlocking long-hidden secrets within its walls. The narrative explores themes of legacy, family, and the blurred lines between right and wrong in a setting steeped in old-world charm and intrigue.
