Tycoon Steel has replaced all his bodily organs with artificial ones to extend his life, but he is informed that he only has one week remaining. The only method to prolong his existence is to undergo a brain transplant operation performed by Dr. Changer. After extensive computer analysis, the results indicate that Lupin's brain is the optimal choice for this procedure. Consequently, Lupin becomes the target for this life-saving medical intervention, as his neural structure is deemed the best fit to save Steel's life.
