The screen commits the perfect comedy!
There was a young sleuth full of tricks, solving murders would give him such kicks, till a suspect he treasured was found to be measured 36-26-36!
It's Sellers the Sleuth... and there's nothing he won't do to track down a body -- dead or alive!
This is a real high calibre comedy!
Meet the inspector who was always on the job In The Bedroom... In The Nightclub... In The Nudist Colony!
... The Picture That Gets Away With Murder!

Clouseau:
Listen to me, Hercule, and you will learn something. Now then, the facts in this case are: the body of the chauffeur was found in the bedroom of the second maid. Fact! Cause of death: Four bullets in the chest. Fact! The bullets were fired at close range from a .25 caliber Beretta automatic. Fact! Maria Gambrelli was discovered with the murder weapon in her hand. Fact! The murder weapon was registered in the name of the deceased, Miguel Ostos, and was kept, mind you, in the glove compartment of the Ballon Rolls-Royce. Fact! Now then, members of the household staff have testified that Miguel Ostos beat... [snaps his pointing stick] You fool! You have broken my pointing stick! I have nothing to point with now!... have testified that Miguel Ostos beat Maria Gambrelli frequently. And now, finally comes the sworn statement of Monsieur and Madame Ballon, as well as all the members of the staff, each of them with perfect alibis. Now then, Hercule, What is the inescapable conclusion?

Hercule LaJoy:
Maria Gambrelli killed the chauffeur.

Clouseau:
What? You idiot! It's impossible. She's protecting someone.

Hercule LaJoy:
How do you know that?

Clouseau:
Instinct!

Hercule LaJoy:
But the facts...

Clouseau:
You are forgetting the most important fact - motive.

Hercule LaJoy:
He beat her.

Clouseau:
He was Spanish!

Hercule LaJoy:
He tore her dress off.

Clouseau:
Oh, don't be ridiculous. Would you kill someone who tore your dress off?

Hercule LaJoy:
No, I suppose not.

Clouseau:
No, of course not! No, no. No, there is no doubt in my mind, whatsoever, Hercule. Maria Gambrelli is most definitely protecting somebody. Find that somebody, and you have found the murderer. And I shall find the murderer before the day is out. Maria Gambrelli will tell me who he is. Oh, yes.
