Peter Sellers as Inspector Clouseau dons a series of easily penetrable disguises in his search for wizard cat burgler Sir Charles Litton.
Actually, Litton (Christopher Plummer) is innocent but Inspector Clouseau is too stubborn and stupid to realise.
Clouseau�s attempts to woo Claudine (Catherine Schell) with his Bogart-style chat up lines are amusing and had even his co-star Christopher Plummer in fits of laughter.
