Plot summary

When the infamous Chief Inspector Clouseau disappears in his search for the glamorous Pink Panther diamond, Dreyfus is tasked with programming a Huxley 600 supercomputer to select another detective to find him. Fearing that the new detective will indeed find Clouseau, Dreyfus sabotages the computer to instead select the world's worst detective. This comes in the form of incompetent American detective Clifton Sleigh who, as expected, is every bit as bungling as the man he is looking for.—Alexander Dockins
