Inspector Clouseau is a loyal if one of the most unorthodox members of the Sûreté or French National Police and has been assigned to travel with a detachment to provide security detail for Princess Dala who has escaped the overthrow of her home country Lugash by its Secret Police who are sponsoring a religious fundamentalist regime and their own crime syndicates both wanting to impose an extremist Sharia law that grants them absolute power over all of Lugash's citizens. Only with the family jewel the Pink Panther will the claim to Lugash be sealed. Knowing that Dala's family jewel the Pink Panther will be too big of a prize for his archenemy the Phantom to resist, Clouseau hopes to set a trap for the thief he attempted to catch long ago while he, his comrades and extended family try to keep the princess safe and happy. The Phantom, also known as the English playboy Sir Charles Litton, steals jewels from very rich and corrupt people while leaving a white monogrammed man's glove with the initial 'P' on it as he enacts a breed of vigilante justice that baffles INTERPOL. As he moves to prepare a theft of the diamond, he starts to fall in love with the princess. Clouseau's stumbling, bumbling antics at times relieve the tension and keep the atmosphere from getting too grim, but they all take their toll on the sanity of Clouseau's immediate superior Chief Inspector Charles LaRousse Dreyfus, who at any moment could very well snap and try to do away with and kill Clouseau.
