Summary:
As a young girl, Princess Dala is given the largest diamond in the world by her father. If you stare into it, you can see a 'Pink Panther.' Now she is a young woman. Rebels in her home country have seized power and are demanding the return of the jewel. Dala relaxes at an exclusive skiing resort. Noted British playboy, Sir Charles Lytton is in town. He is secretly 'The Phantom, ' an infamous jewel thief who has eyes on the Pink Panther. Charles's playboy nephew, George, follows him to the resort in an attempt to steal the diamond and blame it on 'The Phantom, ' not knowing that it's his uncle. Hot on the Phantom's trail is Inspector Jacques Clouseau. His wife is the lover of Charles and helps in the Phantom's crimes. Jacques tries to stop the attempts, but he is completely clueless. When several attempts are made at a dress formal party, Jacques looks everywhere but the right place.
