- DirectorRobert McKimsonThe Pink Panther lives in a rundown house at the city dump. Hungrily he walks towads the city hoping to find something to eat. A magician drives past, and his hat falls onto the road. Out of the hat steps a giant rabbit, who cuddles the panther and happily starts following him. The rabbit rewards the panther with a luxurious dinner he pulls out of the hat. The panther tries to become rich by searching for oil, but only gets an oil can, and himself drenched in some oil that flows from the hat. When he cleans himself in a health spa, he stays too long in the steam bath and gets reduced to miniature size.

The enraged home-owner refuses to allow the panther to try again and buys a house-cat to combat the rodent. Fearing for his reputation, the Pink Panther acts to circumvent the cat and lure the mouse and its entire large family out of the house, direct to his own humble abode, where the mooching mice eat all of his food.
