[edit] Summary
The last will of master thief Mark Williams is for his old friend Lupin III to return to their rightful places several famous objects, including La Bocca della Verita (or Mouth of Truth), a coffee maker from the first bottega da caffe in the Plaza San Marco, the speedboat/hovercraft gondola that 007 used in the movie "Moonraker," original can-can dresses from the Moulin Rouge, a car custom-made for the king of a Middle East country, and lastly a statue of The Little Mermaid in Copenhagen, Denmark, all of which Mark stole in his lifetime. Doing so within a certain time limit will reveal to Lupin the location of the Trick Diamond, a jewel thought to be worthless because its only ability is to catch and retain light. Lupin, however, is certain that the stone holds more than meets the eye, as it is connected with both the Tunguska incident and the construction of La Sagrada Família in Barcelona.
A Russian mobster and his cohorts are also after the diamond, as it is rumoured to be able to reveal an incredible treasure. As Lupin and his gang attempt to return the artifacts, they run into more trouble than they expected when the mob crosses paths with them. Lupin ends up on his own when Jigen captured and Goemon is injured and unable to use his sword. Lupin must now put the pieces together if he wants to uncover the fantastic treasure in time.
