The film opens with the Chief Inspector, Charles Dreyfus (Kevin Kline), who tells the story of the Pink Panther diamond theft case. A flashback appears as Dreyfus tells the story. Soccer coach Yves Gluant (Jason Statham) comes down the stadium, showing his trademark Pink Panther diamond ring. He then happily kisses Xania (Beyoncé Knowles), his girlfriend, after whispering to her. Yves’ team win the match, but then Yves dies with a poison dart in his neck, and the Pink Panther diamond ring vanishes from his hand. Inspector Charles Dreyfus, eager to win the Légion d’honneur (translated as the “Medal of Honor” in the film), appoints clumsy third class detective Jacques Clouseau (Steve Martin) to the case as Dreyfus assembles a team of investigators to tackle the mystery in secret, while planning to take over the case and win the Légion d’honneur. Dreyfus also appoints Gendarme Gilbert Ponton (Jean Reno) to report on Clouseau’s whereabouts at all times.
Clouseau makes little progress at first, bungling one situation after another. Bizu, a star player who hated Gluant and was the prime suspect, is shot in the head and killed. A girl witness had heard him say “Oh, it’s you,” immediately before being shot; therefore Clouseau tells Ponton to gather all the people in Paris with the name “You”. He interviews an old Cantonese woman (credited as “Yu”) and appears not to understand her. While at a casino, with the intent of asking some questions of owner Raymond Larocque (Gluant’s business partner, played by Roger Rees), he encounters British Secret Agent 006 Nigel Boswell (Clive Owen, parodying James Bond). Boswell later poses as Clouseau in order to conceal his identity while stopping a robbery by the notorious “Gas-Masked Bandits”. Clouseau receives credit for the deed and thus is nominated for the Légion d’honneur, much to Dreyfus’s annoyance.
Believing that Xania knows more than she has revealed, Clouseau follows her to New York City, having tried to gain a flawless American accent but with no success. Before he can return to France, his bag is exchanged for another by a woman working for Dreyfus while he waits in line at airport security. The new bag, which contains several weapons (including a flail, a pocket knife, nunchucks, a grenade, and a revolver), sets off the metal detector. After he refuses to empty his pockets, which contain hamburgers, he is arrested, being unable to explain his situation as a result of his inability to pronounce the word “hamburger”, the only word Clouseau’s dialect coach tried (and failed) to teach him. Upon Clouseau’s return to France, Dreyfus insults him and strips him of his inspector rank, preparing to win the case. Based on his evidence — that the poison that killed Gluant was derived from Chinese herbs — Dreyfus deduces that the killer is a Chinese envoy named Dr. Pang, whom he plans on arresting at the upcoming Presidential Ball. Dreyfus later orders the event’s planners to remove Clouseau’s name from the guest list. Read more
