They enter the country and run into a car chase between a group of men after a girl in a wedding dress. Lupin, who loves girls, decides to abruptly make a detour to assist the bride in her escape. They successfully outrun the men but have an accident.
Lupin goes unconscious but wakes up to find a ring with the royal crest of Cagliostro in a white glove from the bride.
