Plot

Clouseau drives Dreyfus insane again by visiting him

The story opens at the sanitarium for the criminally insane, where former Chief Inspector Charles Dreyfus (Herbert Lom), who is largely recovered from the murderous insanity that saw him repeatedly attempt to kill his nemesis, Inspector Jacques Clouseau, is about to be released. Unfortunately, Dreyfus' recovery is shortlived; upon encountering Clouseau (Peter Sellers), who is now Chief Inspector and has arrived with the helpful intention of speaking on Dreyfus' behalf, it takes less than five minutes in Clouseau's company and the misfortunes this results in for Dreyfus to snap and return to his murderous ways.

Soon thereafter, Dreyfus escapes from the asylum, intent on killing Clouseau. His first attempt is unsuccessful; planting a bomb whilst Clouseau destructively duels with his manservant Cato (Burt Kwouk), who is still under orders to keep Clouseau on his toes by randomly attacking him. The bomb merely destroys Clouseau's apartment whilst Clouseau himself is unharmed, largely due to an inflatable costume and a telephone. Dreyfus sets his sights higher; enlisting the help of an army of the most vicious criminals operating, he kidnaps nuclear physicist Professor Fassbender (Richard Vernon) and his daughter, forcing the professor to build a "doomsday weapon" in return for his daughter's freedom.

Clouseau travels to England to investigate Fassbender's disappearance, with typically chaotic results, as Scotland Yard Superintendent Quinlan (Leonard Rossiter) learns painfully. Meanwhile Dreyfus reveals his elaborate plot; he aims to get rid of Inspector Clouseau by threatening the whole of humanity. Disintegrating the United Nations headquarters in New York City before the disbelieving eyes of the world, he blackmails the leaders of the world - including the President of the United States (a thinly-veiled impersonation of Gerald Ford, advised by a similarly poorly-camouflaged Henry Kissinger) - into assassinating Clouseau.

Forced to take Dreyfus' threat seriously, several nations send murderers to kill Clouseau at the Oktoberfest; however, in typical bumbling fashion, Clouseau manages to evade each assassination attempt just as it is about to happen, and the assassins end up killing each other instead. The assassins of twenty-six nations are killed in the attempt, and the only survivors are the Egyptian (an uncredited cameo by Omar Sharif) and Soviet Russian operatives. The Egyptian assassin, sneaking into Clouseau's hotel room, shoots a man he believes to be Clouseau (who is in fact one of Dreyfus' henchmen, who had taken it upon himself to attempt to assassinate Clouseau); after this, the Russian operative, Olga Bariosova (Lesley-Anne Down), who has also sneaked into Clouseau's room, seduces the Egyptian, similarly mistaking him for Clouseau. His passionate sexuality convinces her not to assassinate him; and when the real Clouseau makes an appearance, he is most surprised to discover a beautiful woman in his bed who confuses him further by declaring her undying passion for him, and a dead man in his bath. A tattoo on the dead man, combined with Olga's dismissively revealed knowledge, reveals to Clouseau Dreyfus' location; a castle in Bavaria. This article does not cite any references or sources. ...

Dreyfus is elated at Clouseau's apparent demise, but his joy is soured by a bad case of toothache. Clouseau - who has arrived in the village near Dreyfus' castle and has unsuccessfully attempted to breach the castle, thwarted every time by a drawbridge that appears to be mocking him - eventually infiltrates Dreyfus' castle hideout disguised as a dentist, intoxicates Dreyfus with nitrous oxide and pulls one of Dreyfus's good teeth.

Enraged, Dreyfus means to seek vengeance on the world by destroying England; Clouseau, who has been thrown into the castle's barnyard, is literally catapulted onto Dreyfus' doomsday machine. The buffoon's weight redirects the disintegrator so that it hits Dreyfus (causing his feet to disappear) and destroys Dreyfus' castle. As Dreyfus' henchmen, Fassbinder and his daughter and, eventually, Clouseau himself escape the castle (Clouseau nearly thwarted once more by the drawbridge), Dreyfus himself plays the castle's organ, laughing insanely and gradually disintegrating. The castle disappears, apparently making Dreyfus vanish.

Returning to Paris, Clouseau is reunited with Olga, who has dismissed Cato for the evening and intends on completing her seduction of Clouseau; their romantic evening is interrupted firstly by Clouseau's apparent inability to remove any of his clothes without a struggle, and then by Cato, who chooses this time to once more follow his orders and attack Clouseau.

Trivia

• Graham Stark, long time friend of Sellers, once again makes a return, albeit a small cameo role, as the owner of a small German motel. Since his role as Hercule LaJoy in A Shot in the Dark, he has since appeared in small roles in every Pink Panther movie.

• The character Dr. Fassbender is a rather blatant nod to one of Seller's earlier films What's New Pussycat? where Sellers played a character named Dr. Fritz Fassbender.

• The film, like its prequel and subsequent sequel, was considered a box office success.

• The role of Olga Bariosova was originally offered to Maud Adams.

• The original cut of the film ran for 124 minutes. However, it was soon trimmed down for release in Cinemas. Some of the deleted footage can be seen in Trail of the Pink Panther.

• Due to Peter Sellers' negative heart condition, he would whenever possible have his stunt double Joe Dunne stand in for him. Due to Blake Edwards's preference to shoot as if viewed from a proscenium, this would occur quite frequently.

• Is the only Pink Panther movie which has a storyline that explicitly follows on from the previous film.

• It has been rumored, but not confirmed, that during Graham Stark's scene, his smoking pipe had been filled with marijuana. This caused the shoot to take much longer than usual, as Stark found it difficult to hold his composure.

• This film is generally considered the funniest in the series. However, some fans argue that A Shot in the Dark is a superior film due to its more plausible plot.

• During the title sequence, there are references to Alfred Hitchcock, Batman, King Kong, The Sound of Music, Dracula AD 1972, Singin' in the Rain and Steamboat Bill Jr., putting the Pink Panther character and the animated persona of Inspector Clouseau into recognisable events from said movies. Richard Williams (later of Roger Rabbit fame) did the animated opening & closing sequences for the film instead of DePatie Freleng.
