Episode synopsis
Baroness von Kuhlen steals a gift from Arsène Lupin that he intended to give to a friend. That's all it takes for Lupin to concoct one of his devilish little schemes, the secret of which only he knows. Under the identity of Prince Renine, he visits Baron von Kuhlen, who owns a beautiful wine cellar, to buy some wine. He discovers that the baron has another passion: archaeology. He digs and searches everywhere, while his wife, out of boredom or provocation, picks pockets left and right.
About Le Retour d'Arsène Lupin
The Return of Arsène Lupin (1989) is a French crime television series consisting of 12 episodes, each approximately 55 minutes long, broadcast on FR3 between November 1989 and January 1990. It features the famous gentleman thief created by Maurice Leblanc, played here by François Dunoyer, in a more mischievous and modern interpretation than his predecessors, which retains the hero's refinement and intelligence while immersing him in stories with international overtones, with a more contemporary tone for the late 1980s.
