Arsène, our charming and clever protagonist who sits on the wrong side of the law, becomes inadvertently involved in a damning murder case when his two colleagues are arrested on suspicion of killing Deputy Daubrecq, a corrupt politician, during a burglary. In an attempt to clear their names and get to the truth of what happened, Lupin seeks a crystal stopper which was once in Daubrecq’s possession and holds enough political secrets to bring absolute anarchy.

Another action-packed mystery by Maurice LeBlanc! This story has to do with the final Will of a man named Mornington, who, in the year 1900, left behind the sum of $400 million francs. Of that, three-fourths went to his adopted country - which left $100 million francs to be distributed to his heirs. The executor of the estate was Mornington's friend, Don Luis Perenna (AKA Arsene Lupin). The problem, however, was that no one knew where (or even who) some of the heirs were. If no heirs were to be found within 3 months, the entire $100 million francs would go to Perenna.
