Veteran thief brothers Nanja-Monja, active since the Arsene Lupin era, plan to recruit Lupin as a tourist attraction for the Republic of Karchina. Their scheme begins with the abduction of Fujiko. They subsequently assemble a massive crowd in a stadium where a safe is positioned at the center. Fujiko is locked inside this safe, left to wait for Lupin to arrive and rescue her. The brothers intend to use this high-stakes public scenario to draw Lupin into their operation, turning his rescue efforts into a spectacle for the gathered audience in Karchina.
