- DirectorGerry ChiniquyThe Pink Panther wants to go on a ride with his self-built motorcycle, but it starts driving backwards at a frightening speed, and a policeman tries in vain to catch him for speeding. The panther builds another motorcycle, which splits in two in the midst of the ride, and the other half continues its way. When the panther rides his next vehicle, made out of bed frame bars, he gets caught by the policeman and sent to prison.
- DirectorHawley PrattThe Pink Panther joins the U.S. Army and goes to boot camp, where he unwittingly causes no end of trouble for a short, pointy-nosed drill Sergeant. Before long, the Sergeant is plotting to do away with the Pink Panther. He tries to trap the panther in a mine field, only to become trapped himself. He orders the Pink Panther to dig a hole in the middle of a grenade testing area and throws a grenade in, but the Pink Panther uses his shovel to hit it back baseball-style, and it rolls into the house of the camp mascot- a short-tempered bulldog- and explodes. The bulldog chases the Sergeant into the obstacle course the Sergeant had intended for the panther. The Sergeant next mails the Pink Panther to the Navy, who sends the panther back. So, the Sergeant runs off to join the Navy.
- DirectorHawley PrattThe Pink Panther thinks he is doing the right thing returning a horse shoe to a robber who gets bad luck when he is around it.
- DirectorHawley PrattThe Pink Panther spends a quarter he finds on the street on a quick lunch.
- DirectorHawley PrattThe Pink Panther buys a land lot atop a narrow mesa, and the house he builds blocks a nearby observatory's view of the Moon. At first, the short, pointy-nosed astronomer at the observatory zooms his huge telescope into the panther's window and believes the newspaper photo of a sexy woman being looked upon by the panther is an actual observation of life on the Moon, and he telephones the fantastic finding to his employers. The Pink Panther builds a brick wall to block the telescope's view, and the hostilities begin. The little astronomer tries to dynamite the wall, and it falls on top of him, while the Pink Panther operates the observatory's telescope door to close and cut off the outer part of the telescope. While the astronomer zooms the repaired telescope into a view of the Moon's surface, he sees dancing, little green men, which are really puppets being controlled by the panther onto the lens of the telescope. When the little astronomer telephones this discovery to his superiors, he is fired pending a sanity hearing!
- DirectorHawley PrattThe Middle Ages. When an evil knight kidnaps the king's daughter and takes her to his castle, the panther volunteers to retrieve her. However, the panther has problems with his horse who refuses to let the panther mount him, despite the many tricks and gadgets he uses. Finally, the panther trades in the horse for a dragon - but the king's daughter has already got the upper hand on the knight, and when the panther mistakenly takes the battered and bruised knight back to the king's castle, the king is anything but pleased.
- DirectorGerry ChiniquyThe Pink Panther is admitted to hospital after he falls on the street by slipping on his own banana peel. He finds that he has been given a liquid diet, while the man in the next bed is provided a banquet. So, the panther switches medical charts with his neighbor. The hefty food is transferred to him, but he is also rushed to abdominal surgery as per the chart he now has! Having survived the operation, the Pink Panther, in his recovery bed, is taunted by his laughing roommate as he is subjected to needles, to a harrowing blood pressure reading by an inattentive nurse, and to a fall that results in bandaging from head to toe. When he is finally released from the hospital, the panther trips on the hospital's steps and is readmitted with a broken leg!
- DirectorHawley PrattThe Pink Panther and a short, pointy-nosed caveman are laboring to move a large, rectangular slab of rock across a prehistoric jungle. The Pink Panther realizes that the rock would be easier to move if it were round. So, he and the caveman chisel it into a sphere and roll it down a hill. It picks up speed and flattens the caveman repeatedly as it reaches hill bottom, rises on another hill, then re-descends, again and again. The Pink Panther and the caveman next have the idea of positioning another rectangular slab on a carriage and pulling it, and they invent a pair of wheels to put beneath the carriage. Then, when the panther and caveman envision the future for the wheel, including the Industrial Revolution, automobiles, urban blight, and pollution, they destroy the two wheels and go back to moving the slab by their original, clumsy pushing method.
- DirectorGerry ChiniquyThe Pink Panther, working as porter in a train depot, gets forced at gunpoint by a little, pointy-nosed man to assist him in a burglary at the Acme Manufacturing Company. While the man tries to break into the safe, the panther notices a large magnet above a rolling production line, and uses it to get the thief's purse. When the man notices it, he orders the panther to give the purse back, but the panther uses the magnet to catch and drop the man onto the production line. Later, while cutting a hole in the safe with a welder, the panther sets the pipe to the gas bottle on fire, which results in a huge explosion.
- DirectorHawley PrattThe Pink Panther had a little lamb, whose fleece was white as snow, and wherever the lamb went to graze, the panther had to go. The panther and his lamb cross a boundary into Cattle Country, Texas, and when the lamb begins eating the grass of a hot-headed Texan rancher, the Pink Panther must defend himself and his lamb from the Texan's wrath. The panther plants stakes and builds a fence around his lamb's grazing territory, and the Texan, rapidly riding a horse, pounds the stakes - and the Pink Panther - almost entirely into the ground. Undaunted, the Pink Panther establishes his own ranch, and the Texan tries to flatten panther and lamb with a huge, rolling stone, which the Pink Panther guides through a barn so that it hits a tree branch which recoils it on top of the Texan. The Texan telegrams some hired gunslingers, asking them to eliminate someone who is pink, and when a bucket of the Pink Panther's pink paint falls onto the Texan, rendering him pink, the gunslingers arrive and blast him with bullets.
- DirectorGerry ChiniquyStarsMel BlancCalamity results when the Pink Panther wishes for a pair of roller-skates and is granted his wish by his fairy godmother. The "enchanted" skates take the Pink Panther on an uncontrollable junket through a city. He smashes repeatedly through huge windows being unloaded by moving men, knocks over a painter's ladder, tracks through the paint, and puts double lines on a road- and off the road- for cars to follow. He collides with a brick wall, and still the skates won't stop. Every attempt by the panther to remove the troublesome skates fails, until his fairy godmother returns to grant two more wishes. The panther wishes for the removal of the skates, then for the skates to be placed on the fairy godmother's feet, sending her on a similarly uncontrolled and disastrous journey.
- DirectorHawley PrattThe Pink Panther is in Egypt on an expedition to uncover a buried cave containing ancient treasures, and he has only enough money to purchase a tiny camel that can't carry the load of tools that the Pink Panther has and that resists all the panther's attempts to force it to do so. The Pink Panther must carry the load himself, with the camel on top! X marks the spot, and the Pink Panther digs and finds the cave, which is blocked by a huge boulder. His first attempt to dynamite the boulder is foiled by the camel, who brings the lit dynamite to the panther for it to explode in their faces. The Pink Panther ties the camel to a stake and lights more dynamite that obliterates the boulder and gives the Pink Panther access to the cave, but when he enters, he is cursed and metamorphoses into a series of bizarre creatures as he attempts to remove a large gem.
- DirectorGerry ChiniquyThe Pink Panther has a new job as a lumberjack.
- DirectorArthur DavisA crook orders the Pink Panther at gunpoint to deliver a mysterious, ticking package to the Slobvanian embassy in less than half an hour. The task proves hard to fulfill, since the embassy's watchdog is constantly alert, and all the plans the panther makes up go wrong. And the clocks keep ticking...
- DirectorArthur DavisIn medi-evil England, The Pink Pather attempts to rescue a poor unfortunate (our pointy-nosed man again) from incarceration due to his inability to pay his tax. Ultimately they are both locked up again and so is Robin Hood who tries to rescue them.
- DirectorHawley PrattA drunken witch drops her magic wand, and the Pink Panther finds it and decides to use it for a good deed by transforming a scrawny, dirt-poor girl into a ravishing beauty so she can enter a beauty contest to win a date in Las Vegas with Pelvis Parsley. Unfortunately, the witch repossesses the wand, and the Pink Panther, unable to extend its magic past midnight, must return the girl home before Parsley can see her revert to her unattractive self. She loses a slipper, and Parsley uses it to find the foot it fits. He arrives at the girl's shack the next morning, tries the slipper on her foot, and is delighted that it fits, and as he kisses her, she transforms back into the enchanting beauty. They leave in Parsley's car to be married, and she waves goodbye to her benefactor panther. The Pink Panther finds the wand again and fights with the witch for possession, and in the ensuing battle of magic spells, the witch becomes a female pink panther, with whom the Pink Panther elopes.
- DirectorGerry ChiniquyThe Pink Panther's winter quarters, a log cabin, is besieged by a termite, which the panther tries unsuccessfully to stop with glue, a rifle, an axe, and insecticide. He renders the pest unconscious and puts it in a corked bottle and throws the bottle off a cliff. But the termite frees itself and returns to bedevil the panther, who has installed a steel door on his cabin. The termite bites a network of fractures through the cabin's structure, and the cabin collapses, leaving only the steel door standing. The enraged Pink Panther orders the termite at gunpoint to help rebuild the cabin by acting as a chainsaw to cut logs into lumber.
- DirectorGerry ChiniquyA pedestrian Pink Panther cannot complete his crossing of a busy city road before his "Walk" light changes to, "Don't walk." He must return to his original side of the intersection, and every subsequent attempt to walk across the road is equally unsuccessful. A little man at a pedestrians' club advises the panther to try crossing the road by other means: pole vaulting, attaching a rocket to his back, walking across an electric wire, being a "human" cannonball, and building a wooden suspension bridge. Each effort fails painfully for the hapless panther. He finally disguises himself as a mother tabby with a litter of kittens and is permitted to fully cross the road - but a falling piano lands on him.
- DirectorHawley PrattA homeless Pink Panther, seeking shelter on a bitterly cold night, sneaks through a window into the cozy, warm living room of a diminutive, excitable game hunter, whose stuffed animal-head trophies adorn the walls of his abode. The Pink Panther's mooching presence in the house never arouses the hunter's suspicion that there is an unwelcome guest, but the hunter's dog knows about the Pink Panther's intrusion and repeatedly tries to alert its master. The Pink Panther replaces the stuffed body of a Ugandan panther with himself in a still pose and doesn't blink when the man repeatedly whacks him with a stick to show to his dog that the panther is dead and stuffed, and when the man leaves the room and the dog remains, the Pink Panther hits the dog with the stick. Every time the dog tries to retaliate against the Pink Panther, the Pink Panther has moved and the man has taken his place, in the bathtub, in a chair, and in bed, and thus receives the brunt of the dog's attacks.
- DirectorArthur DavisThe Pink Panther is chronically late for work due to over sleeping. So, he buys a cuckoo clock in hope that the cuckoo's chirps will wake him in ample time each morning. The cuckoo does exactly this, but the panther is so irate at being jolted awake that he tries to silence the cuckoo so that he can go back to sleep.
- DirectorHawley PrattThe Pink Panther opens a corn vending stand adjacent to his vast corn field, which is invaded by a tenacious pair of crows who begin devouring the panther's corn. When the panther places a scarecrow next to the field, the crows remove the clothes from the scarecrow and pose as a customer to sample the corn at the Pink Panther's stand. When the panther realizes that he is being tricked, he opens fire upon the crows with his rifle. An escalating war between panther and crows involves the panther's use of a box trap, grenades painted to look like corn, and machine gun shells, none of which stop the two crows from further raids on the field. The Pink Panther builds a brick wall, which one of the crows impacts, and the rain of bricks strikes the second crow. The Pink Panther pities the two seriously injured birds and allows them to eat some of the corn, and the crows summon all their friends to join them!
- DirectorHawley PrattIn a fast moving, keystone cops-like series of events, the Pink Panther, a caveman, a small dinosaur, and a large dinosaur fight over a bone with hilarious results.
