The French have a word for a man like Inspector Jacques Clouseau of the Sûreté: idiot! Across Paris, baffled citizens want to know if their Inspector is in hot pursuit of a criminal mastermind or just in love with one. Assigned to a high-prestige case in which a multi-millionaire's chauffeur has been murdered, Clouseau finds himself falling (literally) for the primary suspect - a beautiful parlor maid whose talent for being in the wrong place at the wrong time is almost as great as his. But as the body count grows higher and the parlor maid's criminal record goes longer, Clouseau realizes he'll need the luck of the Pink Panther diamond to find the "real" culprits quickly - or his career will be finit either through bureaucratic termination or death by his long-suffering superior Dreyfus! In the process, some of Clouseau's enemies use the chaos to stage a series of bank robberies over Paris with some of the millionaires' assets caught up in the theft with one of the prizes being Clouseau's prized and increasingly powerful Pink Panther diamond gifted to the Inspector for protecting Lugash's exiled Princess Dala.
