"Hot Shot: This is Fujiko!"

In the country of Malda, Inspector Zenigata has been summoned to a meeting with the country's brutal premier, Boss Marco, police chief Dr. Goebel , and other heads of state. As he enters, he trips over a cleaning lady's mop; when she helps him up, she plants a bug on him. It is Fujiko and she listens in on a meeting. A camera has been stolen from a scientist, Dr. Heidelburg, and it is believed Lupin is responsible. Zenigata is confused by this, since the camera is supposedly nothing special or expensive, but the premier orders Zenigata to go after the master thief.

Meanwhile, Lupin and Jigen are in the hands of the sinister Goebel, who uses torture to determine each suspect's greatest fear and torture them with it. Lupin and Jigen are subjected to this for hours, much to the protests of Zenigata, who not only believes the torture cruel, but also the two thieves claims that they know nothing about the missing camera. Finally, Goebel throws them in a cell, promising to renew the torture tomorrow, but luckily Goemon manages to slip into the prison and free them.

Funnily enough, Lupin and his gang are in the country, at one of the local race tracks. Lupin and Jigen have had rotten luck, and are envious of a couple of men who have won three races in a row. Puzzled, they watch the men take a picture of the empty finish line before running off to place another bet. Lupin, Jigen, and Goemon bet on the next race themselves, Goemon choosing a horse that happens to share his name. Lupin heads off and places the bets, but on the way back is accosted by Zenigata, who chases him through the stands as the race goes on. Lupin finally eludes the detective just as Goemon (the horse) places first, to the joy of the constantly winning men and Goemon (the {{Samurai}}). Goemon waits for Lupin and Jigen outside while the two go to collect their winnings, only to discover the woman at the counter is Zenigata. Backed up by Maldan police, Lupin and Jigen are captured and taken into custody.

Infuriated by their treatment, Lupin decides to find this mystery camera to figure out why its so special. Jigen recalls the two men at the track and their weird behavior, but before they can start investigating, Goemon finds an article in the paper about a very lucky woman who has won several contests...none other than Fujiko. Sure enough, at a local casino, Fujiko is present with the special camera, taking pictures of betting tables before the bets are placed. After winning a round of roulette, a waiter slips up behind Fujiko and swaps her camera for another without her noticing. When she reaches for her chips, however, Goebel and the police show up, arresting her and taking the swapped camera with them.

In a quieter place, Heidelberg confesses that the Maldan government wanted him to create a camera that could see into the past, so they could take pictures of people accused of crimes to see if they committed them or not. Instead, courtesy of tachyon particles, he accidentally created a camera that could see into the future. Heidelberg then adds that Fujiko is in danger since she is now being interrogated about the missing camera. Sure enough, at the prison, Zenigata watches horrified, via monitor, as she is about to be crushed by a falling ceiling. He orders the interrogation to stop, but Goebel insists that she knows the truth. When Marco refuses to order a halt, Zenigata loses his temper and throws the bossr at the control panel, keeping Fujiko from being crushed under the falling ceiling. As the premier stands up, however, Zenigata realizes, to his horror, that the premier is not a human, but a robot! Goebel tries to shoot Zenigata when he finds out the truth, but the detective throws the robot's head as a distraction and manages to escape.
