Across Paris, baffled citizens want to know if the Inspector is in hot pursuit of a criminal, or just in love with one! Mistakenly assigned to a high-prestige case in which a millionaire's chauffeur has been murdered. Clouseau finds himself falling (literally) for the prime suspect, a beautiful parlour maid (Elke Sommer) whose talent for being in the wrong place at the wrong time is almost as great as his. But as the body count grows higher, and the parlour maid's criminal record grows longer, Clouseau realises he'll have to find the "real" culprit quickly or his career will be finit!
