In Hong Kong, stage magician Chin is approached by Fujiko, claiming to be his fan. While the man is distracted the woman secretly switch his glasses with another pair and leaves before he can take notice. In the streets of the city, Lupin is wandering around trying to escape the summer heat, only to find himself once again escaping from Zenigata. Eventually he finds himself in a club where Chin is on stage, and the magician asks Lupin to join him for his magic show, with Zenigata still not giving up. Thanks to Chin’s tricks, Lupin disappears and Zenigata is left once again empty handed. In his private room, Chin asks a favor to the master thief: to find a certain woman, at least 60 years old, and gives Lupin her picture. At the same time a huge man comes in from the nearby room, calling Chin “Ko Shuzen”, but the old fat magician quickly shuts him up and tells him that Lupin will now help them.
Back on Hong Kong’s streets, Lupin, still pondering Ko Shuzen’s name, encounters an attractive lady who steals his wallet, only to be surprised upon seeing the picture inside. Back at the hotel, Lupin is having a beer when suddenly he spots Fujiko near the pool outside, listening at someone with a device. With a trick, Lupin manages to get Fujiko to leave and finds out that she’s spying Ko Shuzen, former scientist working on the famous bones of the Peking man, now worth a lot. According to Fujiko, Ko Shuzen had surgery to change into Chin, and now he’s still after the bones: on the radio he listen to Ko Shuzen talking to his partner about the woman he asked Lupin to find, Ko Ran, to whom he gave the skull of the Peking man in lieu of her husband’s own. Interested, Lupin plays a little joke on Fujiko and leaves her a note before going back to his partners Jigen and Goemon, who however aren’t interested in this heist. While Lupin leaves the hotel to look for the girl, Fujiko plants a bug on him. After a long search, he catches the attention of Zenigata and another pursuit starts, ending with Lupin cornered by Zenigata and a few agents.
Suddenly, the girl from before appears and promptly beats the cops senseless and provides an escape route via sampan to the thief and reveals her name, Shunran. In her apartment, Lupin finds out that Ko Ran is her mother, but now is dead and her ashes are buried along with her husbands in the communal charnel of Kofuku Temple, showing the contract as a proof. As Lupin thinks that the bones will be here, Zenigata storms the apartment, forcing Lupin to flee while Shunran, after trying to warn Lupin about something, kicks the inspector out of her window. Meanwhile Fujiko contacts Ko Shuzen again and offers him a shot to the Peking man’s bones in exchange for a third of the sale. In Kofuku Temple Lupin recovers the ashes, but Ko Shuzen and his partner betray Fujiko and steal the urn from Lupin, who’s saved in the nick of time by Goemon and Jigen. The band proceed to chase Kou Shuzen’s car by helicopter, and when Zenigata stops the magician for a control, remembering when he let Lupin escape, Lupin makes his move and tries to steal back the urn, resulting in the helicopter crashing in the nearby police station along with Zenigata, Kou Shuzen and his partner. In the following chaos Lupin, disguised as a policeman, manages to sneak away with the precious urn and return it to Shunran, only to find out the terrible truth: the temple was destroyed in a fire 10 years earlier, and the ashes in the urn belong to someone else, meaning that all that work was for nothing, as Lupin sadly admit.
