Animated film / 1979
ルパン三世 カリオストロの城
After stealing a fortune from a state-run casino, Lupin III and Jigen find that the money is counterfeit: the so-called "goat" bills. They follow the trail to the small European Duchy of Cagliostro, where the bills are printed. On the way they see a young woman in a wedding dress being chased by armed men. They rescue her after a car chase, but she is taken back moments later and leaves them only her ring. With it, Lupin sets out to break into Count Cagliostro's fortress-like castle.
