Following The Return of the Pink Panther, Inspector Clouseau's former boss, Chief Inspector Dreyfus, escapes from a psychiatric institution, builds a doomsday weapon, and blackmails world leaders into having Clouseau killed. The fourth Pink Panther collaboration between Blake Edwards and Peter Sellers spoofs James Bond movies and delivers enjoyable physical and verbal comedy, as Clouseau finds himself in a series of new and memorably awkward situations.
