Taglines: The Newest and Funniest ‘Panther’ of them all.
The Pink Panther diamond is stolen once again from Lugash and the authorities call in Chief Inspector Clouseau from France. His plane disappears en-route. This time, famous French TV reporter Marie Jouvet sets out to solve the mystery and starts to interview everybody connected to Clouseau. Each interviewee Dreyfus, Sir Charles & Lady Lytton (an ex-wife of Clouseau), George Lytton, Hercule Lajoy (assistant in “A Shot In The Dark”), and Cato tell of their run-ins with Clouseau.
She is also kidnapped by mobster Bruno Langlois who doesn’t want Clouseau found but she continues and finds Clouseau Sr., Clouseau’s father. Is Clouseau alive or is he dead? Each interview has not-yet-seen or famous clips from the previous movies (since Peter Sellers has sadly passed away) as Marie continues to get a honest view or impression of the great French detective.
