The French prime minister owes a large debt to Maxim of Paris and instructs the Louvre Museum director to sell a painting to settle the bill. The director refuses to part with the artwork, removing it from the museum. The painting is significant because Lupin's grandfather originally stole it from the Louvre years ago, though it is merely a replica. When art experts and criminals discover the truth behind the transaction, widespread confusion and chaos ensue among those involved in the scheme.
