Storyline

NASA has devised a top-secret formula to artificially create diamonds. Since this could potentially make all jewelry worthless (and thus half-kill the career of a diamond-robbing thief), Lupin and Jigen break into NASA to get the formula... only to find someone else has beaten them to it. A criminal syndicate sent its minions to extract the formula and hide it. The microfilm containing the formula is hid in a cavity in Inspector Zenigata's tooth. However, Zenigata has been recently seeing some doctors over his obsession with Lupin, and has been advised to forget all about Lupin and start a new leaf. And now a new chase begins: Zenigata doing his best to escape from Lupin!
