Lupin targets the Golden Bell, a royal symbol and tourist attraction in Beltenberg, but discovers the belfry contains only a brass replica. While Fujiko maintains that the actual gold bell does not exist, Lupin remains convinced otherwise. Complicating matters, Lupin learns that Fujiko is engaged to Prince Claude of Beltenberg, a man she previously encountered in Paris. This revelation adds personal tension to the heist as Lupin navigates the discrepancy between the fake artifact and his belief in the real one, all while dealing with the news of his former lover's upcoming marriage to the prince.
