The Pink Panther (DVD)

World famous soccer coach Yves Gluant has just led Team France to victory over Team China. Surrounded by grateful adoring fans and his beautiful lover, the international pop star Xania, Gluant is felled by a poisoned dart. In the ensuing panic, Gluant's priceless diamond ring, "The Pink Panther," mysteriously disappears.

Cracking the case falls to Chief Inspector Dreyfus, who is up for the prestigious Medal of Honor - for the seventh time.Dreyfus presses the indefatigable Inspector Clouseau into service.

Inspector Jacques Clouseau, a name that strikes fear into the hearts of criminals everywhere. Maybe it's because his deductive powers are so inadequate, his grasp of the obvious so elusive, his command of the language so severely limited and his physical coordination so completely lacking. But while his approach may be unorthodox and often confounding, he always manages to solve the crime - in his own fashion.

Clouseau and his new assistant, the steadfast, stoic Gendarme Gilbert Ponton, follow a tangle of clues that leads them all over Paris and, eventually, New York City. One by one, Clouseau narrows his search and tracks down the most likely suspects. They include Xania, a spurned soccer star, a millionaire casino owner and a flirtatious P.R. publicist.

In the end, with the aid of Ponton and his devoted secretary Nicole, Clouseau must unmask the murderer and keep Dreyfus from taking credit.
