When a Lupin impersonator is arrested for shoplifting in Tokyo, dozens of other copycats converge on the city to clear the name of Arsene Lupin III. The real Lupin is in town too, both to watch the show and to steal a mysterious item called the Ice Cube. But one of those impostors also has sights on the Cube. Is he good enough to beat the original at his own game?

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was Kanichi Kurita's first theatrical Lupin after replacing Yasuo Yamada, making the 'impostor' plot accidentally autobiographical.
Released during Lupin's 40th anniversary, the 50-copycat premise winks at decades of knockoffs and tribute characters across anime history.
