To demonstrate his powerfulness, crime boss Philippe Douvier (Robert Webber) decides to kill Chief Inspector Jacques Clouseau (Peter Sellers). His men kill a transvestite instead and mistakenly believes that Clouseau is actually dead. The former Chief Inspector Charles Dreyfus (Herbert Lom) is brought back to give the eulogy and lure out the killers. Meanwhile Clouseau and his man-servant Cato Fong (Burt Kwouk) aim to track down his would-be assassin.
The best thing about this Pink Panther sequel is the return of Peter Sellers, Herbert Lom, and Burt Kwouk. The trio represents the best combination in the Pink Panther franchise. The movie is kind of boring whenever the three isn't on screen. The opening is problematic because of that fact. One of the three should be on screen at least 95% of the time. They are chuckle worthy just by being there. The rest of the cast is forgettable and unimportant.
