Synopsis

Review This comedy adventure has many fantastic and surreal elements, more so than the PLOT OF THE FUMA CLAN.
Lupin and his gang get wind of a huge treasure of gold, the legendary Gold of Babylon,from the burblings of an alcoholic New York bag lady, who seems to be holding a torch for Lupin. The gang travels to the Middle East in search of the treasure. Meanwhile the luckless Inspector Zenigata is on their trail,with a new team of assistants, the losing contestants in a policewoman beauty contest. Some opf the fantastic scenes, as where Zenigata and Lupin have a motorcycle chase around the giant face of a woman in a casino neon sign, would not work in any medium other than animation. Preposterous disguises abound; at one point Lupin even disguises himself as the luscious Fumiko (in bikini), without being detected by her boy friend. This movie seems a shade more rushed and slapstick than the FUMA CLAN, but is very enjoyable all the same.
