And then, thanks to his stubborness, Goemon literally pushes Lupin and his rescue attempt away before they both crash hard into the sea, with Goemon getting washed away to a nearby island and Lupin ending up in the bowels of the prison utility rooms. The next part of the movie is them recovering from this set back and figuring out how to get back to the other two so they can stop the plan at El Guille.

Hector Corbett Finnegan, a legendary thief seen as a modern day Robin Hood, has received an unprecedented death sentence for his crimes from the Kingdom of Dorrente. With this news, other thieves from around the world decide to descend on the impenetrable El Guille Prison to help him escape, for reasons ranging from owed favors to wanting to know where he stashed all of his legendary loot. Naturally, Lupin, Jigen, Goemon, and Fujiko are also on their way to assist in his breakout, but what they find inside the prison is a far more dangerous situation than anyone imagined. The fate of the Kingdom itself, as well as the solution to the mystery of what happened to Dorrente's royal family, is in Lupin and his companions' hands.
