Lupin, Jigen, and Goemon are cooking and sharing a meal wondering where Fujiko is when suddenly she shows up in a great hurry, pursued by men with machine guns who in turn ruin the guys meal and camper. Jigen discovers the "present" Fujiko leaves them -- a spark-plug sized detonator for a nuke!

Comments
Miyazaki Hayao wrote and directed this episode and it shows. Lupin is a gentleman thief and wants to do the right thing. There's humor, good art (for its time), and a good but short story. The look on Fujiko's face after they've stripped her (you don't get to see much of anything thankfully) and not found the detonator is priceless!
