Based on the cartoons and original movies, Jacques Closeau is a bumbling police inspector who investigates and fights crime. One crime he is hired to solve is recovery a stolen pink jewel called, "The Pink Panther." It causes those who stare at it too long to see a pink cartoon-like panther, and the Inspector just so happens to have done it by mistake and the mischievous Panther follows him everywhere he goes. It would seem that the silly cat is playing tricks on him, like dropping an anvil, but everyone thinks he's going mad. But eventually, the silly Panther gives the Inspector clues on how to find the diamond and catch the thief. Throughout the movie, some of his allies end up staring at the diamond and can see the Pink Panther too.
