Plot summary

Now seriously mentally ill after working with Chief Inspector Jacques Clouseau (Peter Sellers) for such a long time, Charles Dreyfus (Herbert Lom) escapes from the mental asylum in which he was being held and vows to destroy Clouseau forever. He kidnaps an eminent scientist and forces him to build a machine capable of destroying the world, with the intention of doing so unless Clouseau is delivered to him. Meanwhile, oblivious to the danger he faces, Clouseau is currently only worried about not letting his manservant, Cato (Burt Kwouk), get the best of him.—Graeme Roy
