The plot picks up three years after" The Return of the Pink Panther", with former Chief Inspector Charles Dreyfus( Herbert Lom) about to be released from a psychiatric prison after having been driven mad by Inspector Jacques Clouseau's( Peter Sellers) bumbling in the previous film.
A typically disastrous visit from Clouseau prompts a relapse which cancels Dreyfus's planned discharge, but he soon escapes anyway and organizes an elaborate plot to threaten the countries of the world with annihilation by a massive laser weapon if they do not assassinate Clouseau for him.
