Lupin The Third's Italian adventure:
Lupin, Jigen and Goemon wanted to spend some time in the hills outside Rome, but they casually found a lost dog. The dog belonged to a rich woman who's ready to offer a big reward to anyone who will be able to take it back to her. So as you may expect, the trio started a long journey to Messina, where they were able to fulfill their duty with quite a bit of fuss from the dog along the way. Let's just say Lupin was barking up the wrong tree once again.
Tonight we return to the land of Lupin but with a truly deadly turn of events in store for our cast of thieves. It seems someone has it out for any and all criminals in this world and now has set in motion a trap for Lupin and company. However this is no ordinary trap and it seems a possible traitor of all things could be attempting to steal the lives of everyone. It will be a Lupin adventure unlike any other, and all criminal lives are at risk. It's a Lupin episode not to miss.
