Plot summary
In London, Scotland Yard's Commissioner Sir Charles Braithwaite is working an organized crime case: a gang has been carrying out robberies across Europe. The Prime Minister decides to ask for outside help, and the press treats the request as an insult. The French Inspector Jacques Clouseau is sent to assist. Sir Charles briefs him on the case, and on the three suspects who were taken into custody, two of whom, Frenchie LeBec and Steven Frey, have broken out, leaving Addison Steele the only one still held. Sir Charles also warns Clouseau to trust nobody, even inside the Yard, because he suspects a mole among its ranks.

Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- Peter Sellers and Blake Edwards clashed during the making of The Pink Panther and A Shot in the Dark and vowed never to work together again. Producer Walter Mirisch wanted a third Pink Panther film but Sellers repeatedly refused the role, so he cast Alan Arkin after Arkin's success in The Russians Are Coming, the Russians Are Coming.
- Before Inspector Clouseau began production, Peter Sellers contacted producer Walter Mirisch saying that only he could play Clouseau, and offered to appear in the film if he was given script approval. Mirisch turned him down.
- Alan Arkin did not only play Inspector Clouseau: he also played the gang members whenever they were disguised as Clouseau, and the other actors' voices were dubbed onto the soundtrack.
