Ep. 17: Lupin and his companions are trapped by Hoshikage Rinko's deadly scheme
Aired on February 13, 1972
Fujiko invites Lupin, Jigen, and Goemon to a renowned nightclub managed by Hoshikage Rinko. Goemon declines the invitation, a decision that proves prudent. Rinko subsequently attaches timebombs to Fujiko, Jigen, and Lupin. The trio is forced to pay 3,000,000,000 JPY within twenty-four hours to have the explosives removed. Goemon's absence from the club allows him to avoid this dangerous predicament entirely, while the others must urgently find the required funds to survive the deadline.
