To settle down with a woman he loves, Lupin attempts to steal all the computer files compiled about him. For once, Zenigata foils Lupin's plan, and to add insult to injury, the woman Lupin loved has left him and taken all his money. Half-heartedly, Lupin agrees to help Jigen score a large diamond, but a boy named Michael keeps following them around asking for Lupin's help.

The diamond has been hidden somewhere in the Statue of Liberty, and Lupin decides to steal the whole Statue in order to find it. If stealing a national landmark was not trouble enough, Lupin finds himself the target of a mysterious cult who also seeks the diamond. What is the connection between the diamond, the cult, and the persistent Michael?
