Synopsis

Gentleman thief Arsène Lupin is noted as one of the most successful burglars in the world. What happens when he goes head to head with Herlock Sholmes—the world's greatest detective?

In order to find a competitor keen enough, they must traverse the English Channel, where they find Herlock Sholmes and his assistant, Wilson—two of the most inquisitive and successful detectives in the world. Does Lupin stand a chance?
