They stealing work of art which primarily belonged to their long-missing father, Michael Heinz, a famous art collector during the Nazi regime. Unfortunately for Hitomi, her fiancé and clumsy young police officer, Toshio Utsumi, is investigating the Cat's Eye cases. Despite being a frequent visitor to the café, he is unaware of the double life of the girls.
