Immer mehr Untaten der Plume Noir werden Lupin angehängt und der Meisterdieb ist zutiefst gekränkt ob dieser schlimmen Verschandelung seines Rufs. Bei seinem großen Coup in Zusammenarbeit mit seinem neuen Partner plant er, seinen Namen endgültig reinzuwaschen. Fraglich ist nur, ob er sein Vertrauen den richtigen Personen schenkt.

So hatte Arsène Lupin sich seine große Premiere wahrlich nicht vorgestellt! Zwar gelang es ihm, die "Silbertränen" in seinen Besitz zu bringen, doch plötzlich steht er vor der Leiche Monsieur Mossés und entsprechend als Mörder da. Eine solche Schädigung seines noch im Aufbau befindlichen Rufes kann er nicht dulden. Die Polizei hält ihn für schuldig, doch er weiß genau, dass hier eine dritte Partei ihre Hände im Spiel hat. So ist es an ihm, den Fall aufzuklären.

Paris staunt! Ungeheuerliche Briefe gehen in mehreren Zeitungsredaktionen ein: Der selbsternannte König der Einbrecher Arsène Lupin verkündet darin, das unermesslich wertvolle Perlencollier namens "Silbertränen“ stehlen zu wollen. Es ist die berühmte Inspektorin Justine Ganimard, die auf diesen Fall angesetzt wird. Ausgerechnet! Denn das fragliche Schmuckstück gehört ihrem Widersacher dem heimlichen Verbrecherboss Èduard Mossé. So findet sich der neue Stern am Himmel des Verbrechens Lupin in seinem ersten Abenteuer direkt zwischen zwei ungleichen Fronten wieder!

Welches Geheimnis hinter dem Mord an Èduard Mossé steckt, hat Arsène Lupin noch immer nicht herausgefunden. Doch er weiß, dass er offenbar in größere Dinge geraten ist, als er angenommen hatte: Irgendwie ist der mysteriöse Kardinal Richelieu in die Sache verstrickt, hinter dem ein ganzer kirchlicher Geheimbund steht. Wie gut, dass der brave Kirchenmann es mit seinem Zölibat nicht so genau nimmt, so dass es in einem Hinterzimmer des legendären Moulin Rouge zu einem ungewöhnlichen Treffen kommt.

Ein weiterer Schleier ist gelüftet und ein neuer Spieler im Rennen um die "Silbertränen" hat sich Lupin offenbart. Er weiß um den wahren Wert des Colliers, das den seiner Perlen weit übersteigt, und anders als die anderen Herrschaften, ist er gewillt, mit dem Einbrecherkönig zusammen zu arbeiten. Doch ihnen stehen mächtige Feinde in Staat, Kirche und den Reihen des organisierten Verbrechens gegenüber.

Der Abend im Moulin Rouge verlief nicht so entspannend, wie der Kardinal ihn sich vorgestellt hatte. Zwischen ihm und Arsène Lupin herrscht nun offene Feindschaft. Auch Inspektorin Ganimard erkennt immer klarer, dass sie in keinem simplen Raubmord ermittelt, sondern einer Verschwörung auf die Schliche gekommen ist, die sich bis in hohe Kirchenkreise zieht.
