The comic essence of the marvellous film with all its verbal and visual humour has been captured here in an entirely practical play that is both easy and fun to stage. 

The world's most unusual criminologist, Chief Inspector Jacques Clouseau, a role originally created by Peter Sellers, fights for his life and for the future of all mankind in the most bizarre and dangerous caper of his brilliantly successful and utterly clumsy career. Paul Dreyfus, once his long-suffering boss, now turned into a raving lunatic, holds the world at bay with the ultimate weapon, the Doomsday Machine. Dreyfus is out to get Clouseau, the man whose undeserved success has driven him crazy, and he threatens to vaporise continents if the nations of the world don't deliver Clouseau to him alive, or if possible, dead.
