An anti-mahogany desk with a forgotten lottery was stolen from Parisian villa to the mathematician professor Gerbois. Lupine knows that he can't choose the win himself, so by fake the kidnapping of Gerbois' daughter Suzanne, he forces Gerbois to split the win in half with him. At the same time, Suzanne volunteered with Lupin's mysterious companion, La Dame Blonde, because she came to the conclusion that half the winnings were better than nothing. Soon after, a rare blue diamond is stolen from the Countess of Crozon's castle. Inspector Ganimard, who is investigating both cases, soon finds out that Arsena Lupine and the Blonde woman are also behind this crime. When his investigation does not lead to a successful conclusion, they ask the disabled for the help of the famous English detective Sherlock Holmes, who also arrives with his friend and companion Watson.
