[edit] Summary

Don Dolune, a former associate of Lupin's, gives his friend half of a diamond called the Twilight Gemini. By finding the other half of the diamond, it will allow Lupin to access a fantastic treasure. Lupin and Jigen travel to Morocco (with some interference from Inspector Zenigata).

The two find a great deal of civil unrest in Morocco as a tribe known as the Gelts are seeking to restore themselves to power. Things become complicated when Lupin falls for Lara, one of the Gelt leaders, and a group of assassins, headed by the twisted Sadachiyo, wants the treasure of Twilight Gemini for itself.

[edit] Trivia

  • This film by and far features the most fanservice of any Lupin film, with several scenes featuring Fujiko topless, and a scene of a nude Lara bathing.
  • There has been some speculation in the fan community that Don Dolune may actually be Arsene Lupin, Lupin's grandfather. Dolune may be in fact a corrupted version of "Don Luis Peranna", an alias used by Arsene Lupin during his later adventures (813) and (Teeth of The Tiger).
