In Lugash, the young Princess Yasmin is kidnapped by Hans Zarba and his crew, who demand that her father, King Haroak, renounce his throne. The case is assigned to the once-again-Commissioner Dreyfus, who unknowingly runs into Hans and his crew on the road. They’re both accompanied by a rather unexpected visitor; a dopey French gendarme named Jacques Gambrelli, prone to many familiar mannerisms and quirks that make Dreyfus tick. After meeting with Jacques’ mother, Maria (Clouseau’s love interest in A Shot in the Dark), Dreyfus’s suspicions are finally answered;
Jacques is indeed the Illegitimate son of the famed Chief Inspector Jacques Clouseau, a fact that neither father or son were allowed to know.
When Jacques is assigned to the kidnapping case, filled with new-found determination, he must fill the shoes of his infamous father’s bumbling legacy as “Detective Jacques Clouseau Jr.” to rescue Yasmin from the clutches of Zarba and his gang.

** Graham Stark, who appeared in several of the prior panther films playing roles such as Clouseau's partner, Hercule Lajoy, makes an appearance as Prof. Auguste Balls, reprising the role from Film/RevengeOfThePinkPanther.
** Played with with Burt Kwouk, who also returns as Clouseau's loyal manservant, Cato. He's got a bigger role than a cameo, but it takes awhile for the film to bring his character back, and he's definitely a smaller supporting role than the others in the film.
