After a successful robbery leaves famed theif Lupin III and his partner Jigen with nothing but a large amount of fake money, the so called "Goat Bills", he decides to track down the counterfeiter responsible - and steal any other treasures he may find in the Castle of Cagliostro, including the 'damsel in distress' he finds imprisoned there. However, as usual, Inspector Zenigata is hot on his trail.

Tracking the legendary counterfeits known as "Goat Bills," international thief Arsene Lupin III arrives at the Duchy of Cagliostro. Once there, he nearly rescues a damsel in distress from the Regent's guards. Following his failure, Lupin takes it upon himself to save her from captivity.

Comment:

Originally released in the 1990s by Streamline Pictures on VHS and LD (through Image Entertainment) under the title The Castle of Cagliostro. Due to copyright restrictions during that time, Lupin was renamed "Wolf". When Streamline closed down, Manga Entertainment acquired the rights and re-dubbed the movie.
