A worthy addition to the Pink Panther series that is amusing with a few genuine laughs but it supports a weak plot. This is the fifth of the series with Peter Sellers. The famous French detective Inspector Jacques Clouseau is mistakenly pronounced dead and he still has to stop an evil drug lord from "doing his thing." The jokes and the supporting cast only suffices but "Panther" fans still ought to like it.
