History[]
Gasper owns the bar "Cabaret Gasper's" and is implied to be an underworld crime boss. His associate is Amore who is a dancer at the bar and is attracted to her however if anyone gathers her attention, Gasper sorts them out.
A long time ago, Koichi Zenigata had arrested him as he was a criminal conning people with scam marriages. Zenigata claimed that he had reformed.
As Amore was dancing, Gasper pulled the curtain from backstage and was happy as he thought that she was gorgeous. With him was Zenigata who was annoyed and pulled the back of his suit thinking that Lupin III might notice. Amore smiled pointing to herself and Lupin called her a "cutie" however Buckingham dragged Lupin away as he thought that he didn't listen to what he just said and grabbed his face. Lupin was annoyed as they were paying customers and wanted to enjoy the show. Gasper was furious holding a machine gun as he saw Lupin and Amore getting together while Zenigata tries to hold him back. Lupin pushed his luck and threw two bouquets towards Amore then smiled to her with a rose in his mouth throwing it to her mouth, this was making Gasper angry and vowed to kill him. He was crawling however Zenigata stopped him and taped him up.
After finding out from Amore that Lupin left the bar, Zenigata and Gasper followed them in a car. They fought over the steering wheel but stopped when he saw Lupin and Buckingham being drunk and walking on the road. Zenigata shouted Lupin that caught his attention, both Lupin and Buckingham ran away from Gasper who was firing his machine gun however he lost them as they hid in trash cans.
Buckingham was running away from Zenigata and Gasper who returned to fire his machine gun then followed the inspector, he got to a dead end and he was scared. Gasper threatened to blow him to pieces however Zenigata stopped him and told him that he would do it his way. Buckingham was relieved as he had his hand out and moving his other hand like crushing around his hand, he thought that Zenigata was the Kojak of Japan but then put his hand on his chin thinking that he was Ironside instead. The chewing gum was wearing off and busted as he slurped the remains back in, he suggested to call Perry Mason.
Both Gasper and Zenigata were shocked as Buckingham walked away, Zenigata wondered what to do however Gasper had made arrangements with the US Army, Navy and the Air Force as Lupin tries to escape from them. As for why, Gasper gives the army commander free tickets to musicals however it is unknown how he bribed the navy or the air force. Gasper and Zenigata managed to get into a tank chasing after Lupin. While he was happy, Zenigata was concerned and thought it was too much so he grabbed him to stop threatening him to be arrested. As the forces pull out, Gasper was thinking on how to stop Lupin because he was after his woman, he got back into the tank with a smile as he thought of something. According to Buckingham, he had returned to his bar and wants to talk to Lupin.
Lupin had arrived at Gasper's and was waiting for him however Gasper sneaked behind him and managed to be scared, he turned around and pointed his Walther P38. Gasper did not want to resort to violence, instead he stroked Lupin's gun and was happy in a love struck way. As Lupin stood there, Gasper got closer holding his hands and proposed in marriage. Lupin was scared and thought that Gasper wanted him as he smiled however he walked slowly towards the wall. Gasper held his hands together and saying what's as he wanted Lupin to marry. Being really scared Lupin and nervously spoke that he wasn't interested and can't marry him. At first Gasper was surprised and blushed but quickly shouted and grabbed his red jacket saying that he was referring to Amore, he quickly shoved Lupin towards the direction of her. Lupin was surprised as Gasper claimed that he lost and was love at first sight, he decided to sit down on a seat and give up. He sulked as he thought that he was doing the right thing. Lupin while holding Amore thought that he was joking but then felt uncomfortable and decided to run away.
In the bar, Gasper picked up his golden phone and became happy that Lupin had agreed to marry Amore straight away. Amore hugged Gasper and they smiled to each other, she then kissed him saying that they will become millionaires. Afterwards Gasper and Amore danced with each other.
The arrangements were that Lupin gets to marry Amore at midnight and arranged a car for them for their honeymoon. At the bar, various people had attended and a wedding cake was made. He welcomed the guests and for them to have a drink. Gasper smiled as Lupin and Amore had arrived ready to get married, he then clapped as the pastor had done an informal wedding with him thinking that they had done their vows and wrote on a piece of paper. Gasper picked up a copy of the wedding document putting it to his inside coat pocket and smiled as Amore is married to Lupin, he then lit his cigar to celebrate.
Lupin however knew that it was a scam as if he dies, all of his belongings go to Amore causing Gasper to spit his cigar out. Gasper then walked towards Lupin as he knows that the stuff will go towards him, he was annoyed and wondered how he found out. Lupin says that he will get married then killed off so Gasper stealing his stuff as he bit into some chewing gum. Then Gasper walked behind his band understanding that Lupin knew and wants to kill him earlier as he fell off commanding his band to fire at Lupin.
Gasper was shocked that Lupin managed to disarm his gang with gum bullets that contained dynamite causing them to explode, he was annoyed and it turned out that the guests who were his friends pointed their guns at Lupin. Lupin then pointed up towards a ball as Daisuke Jigen and Goemon Ishikawa XIII came down to disarm the guests with gum bullets and gum knives, he then threw the wedding cake directly at Gasper causing him to fall down. Shaking the cake off his face, he then made arrangements for the US Army, Navy and the Air Force to show up. Crashing into a wall and Gasper being shocked, an army soldier on a bike told him that the army withdrew their support and left. He then dashed to the toilet and a diver holding a periscope saying that the Navy also pulled out. Gasper went back to the hall and hugged a paratrooper who came in however the air force soldier instead mentioned about Normandy causing him to sigh as the parachute came down. Lupin tells him that he made arrangements for the army to get box seats for the musicals instead of being in the front row.
As Lupin decided to party, Gasper holding Amore ran out of the bar and into the car driving off. Lupin caught up on a scooter and fired three gum bullets into the exhaust causing the car to crash into a wall. Both Gasper and Amore wondered what was going off as Lupin planted a gumball in the horn causing it to explode. Jump cutting to a tanker, Zenigata took Gasper and Amore away as both of them were complaining about the smell. Lupin then put one more gumball into the exhaust and exploded.
