Synopsis
Number six in the continuing "Pink Panther" series opens with the funeral of Inspector Clouseau (eerily prescient considering that this was Peter Sellers' last "Pink Panther" movie before his death). Of course, we soon learn that the lovable bungler isn't dead at all; he's merely faking it so he can pursue, incognito, a ring of international drug smugglers through exotic Hong Kong.
