The special opens with the wedding of Goemon to Murasaki Suminawa; during the wedding, a ritual where an urn that is a precious Suminawa heirloom is handed over to Goemon is interrupted by [[Ninja|Ninjas]], who are fought off by Goemon and his friends Lupin, Jigen, and Fujiko. The ninjas fail to steal the urn, but do make off with Goemon's bride. In exchange for her return, the ninjas of the Fuma clan want the urn, which is the key to finding a secret treasure hidden in the mountains of Japan. Lupin and his gang work to both rescue Murasaki and take the treasure for themselves. Meanwhile, Zenigata, who believes Lupin to be dead following an explosion, comes out of retirement when he finds out his long-time rival may have survived after all...
