- DirectorHawley PrattStarsJoe SiracusaThe Pink Panther's peaceful life as a farmer is challenged when a genetically-modified fly starts to devour all of his produce.
- DirectorGerry ChiniquyThe diminutive owner of a diner situated next to a construction site is inundated with lunchtime customers and hires the Pink Panther as a short-order cook. But the accident-prone panther causes nothing but trouble for the little diner owner. A flipped pizza sticks to the kitchen ceiling, and when the Pink Panther saws a hole through the ceiling and the pizza, with a slab of ceiling wood beneath, falls onto the grill, the little diner owner hurries to bring the pizza to a burly, impatient customer, who bites into a truly wooden-crust pizza, then punishes the little man with a pie in the face. The same customer later requests on two separate occasions a cake and blueberry pie. The Pink Panther catapults the cake into the customer's face, and a fan blows the blueberry topping of the pie to the same unfortunate place. The irate customer puts a R.I.P. wreath at the door of the diner and chases panther and little owner into the horizon.
- DirectorArthur DavisIn an Alpine community, a pointy-nosed, little man's incessant tuba-playing results in the entire community threatening to evict him. So, the man, accompanied by his dog, goes into the mountains to play the tuba in supposed seclusion. However, the tuba-playing disturbs the sleep of a tree-dwelling Pink Panther, who, unseen by the man, drops a potted plant, bubble gum, cement, and soap and water into the tuba, and the man, undaunted, persists in playing and blames his dog for these attempts to silence the tuba.
- DirectorGerry ChiniquyFlying economy class, the Pink Panther is parachuted into the Arctic, where he befriends a lonely seal pup. The young seal doesn't want the Pink Panther to leave him and cries tears that freeze into ice cubes. So, the compassionate Pink Panther stays, to find that he must defend the seal from a trapper. The ensuing conflict awakens and angers a hibernating polar bear!
- DirectorGerry ChiniquyThe Pink Panther is bedeviled by a flea that leaves the fur of a dog and takes up residence in the panther's pink coat. Futile efforts by the Pink Panther to rid himself of the flea involve the use of flea repellant spray, hot tabasco sauce, submersion under water, and a razor that de-furs the panther, requiring him to buy a shaggy, fur coat to keep warm from winter's sudden onset - and the flea moves into the fur coat!

- DirectorHawley PrattThe Pink Panther gets a job as waiter in a Chinese restaurant, where the dinner orders are addressed to the chef by striking a gong in a certain way. The restaurant also owns a large collection of plates and glassware, tended by the little pointy-nosed man. The gong strikes repeatedly shatter the fragile plates and glasses, finally making the man so furious that he freaks out and heads to a tropical island, hoping to find some peace and quiet.
- DirectorArthur DavisGerry ChiniquyFriz FrelengStarsMarvin MillerThe Pink Panther is reading an old letter, sent to him by his old friend Loudmouth Louie; he writes about their past adventures.
- DirectorGerry ChiniquyThe Pink Panther is in his apartment, gift-wrapping a basketball. The ball drops through the wrapping paper to the floor, bounces out a window, and knocks a pointy-nosed, little man in a lower-level apartment off of his balcony swimming pool diving board and down to the street, where the Pink Panther catches him. The Pink Panther chases the bouncing basketball into a zoo, where an ostrich mistakes the ball for an egg and fights the panther for possession of it. The ball bounces away and becomes the plaything of two seals, with the Pink Panther trying to intercept their tossing of the ball. The ball resumes its meandering and leads the Pink Panther on a chase into the wig section of a department store, then bounces near a volleyball court and falls in love with a volleyball- but balks at marriage and returns to the Pink Panther, who resumes his chase of the elusive, bouncing ball with a mind of its own.
- DirectorGerry ChiniquyThe Pink Panther stows away on the S.S.Luxitania while a famous opera singer is aboard the cruise ship. A short, pointy-nosed steward, assigned to cater to the singer's comfort, discovers the stowaway Pink Panther and endeavors to catch the unwelcome passenger, only to repeatedly disturb the ship's Captain, who violently punishes the steward. A troublesome deck chair begins to snap its foot rest as though it were a dog and chases the Pink Panther and the steward off the ship and onto a tropical island.
- DirectorGerry ChiniquyFur-trapping French-Canadian brothers Jules and Jacques provoke the righteous wrath of the Pink Panther when one of their leg-traps in a forest ensnares the picnicking panther's tail. The panther, declaring himself "Pink Avenger", follows the two trappers to their cabin and plants biting turtles in each of their beds, causing each to think the other is responsible for the seeming practical joke. After fist-fighting, the two men realize that, "something's fishy," and they use their dog, Armand, to trail the Pink Panther. They are bitten by more turtles, one of them is caught in his own leg-trap, and the pair are then both catapulted by a recoiling tree into the horizon.
- DirectorRobert McKimsonAnother battle of the paintbrush between the Pink Panther and a diminutive painter, who this time is Leonardo Da Vinci, painting his masterpiece, the Mona Lisa. The little Da Vinci paints a pouting mouth on the Mona Lisa, but the Pink Panther decides to covertly replace the pout with a smile. When the smile wins the appreciation of an art patron, Da Vinci is enraged and repaints the pout. The Pink Panther repeatedly changes the pout to a smile while the little painter is not looking, and ultimately it is the Pink Panther's version of the Mona Lisa that hangs in the Louvre.
- DirectorGerry ChiniquyThe Pink Panther, who works at a ski resort, meets the little pointy-nosed man, who is a newcomer on skis and reads a guidebook in order to learn how to ski. Naturally, this encounter means nothing but trouble for the man, who constantly gets sent off hills and ski jumps, gets his wool shirt completely unraveled and gets frozen inside a huge snowball that has just rolled down a hill.
- DirectorGerry ChiniquyWhile having picnic on the beach, the Pink Panther gets befriended by a salmon, who desperately wants to follow him home. At first, he has trouble surviving on dry land, but he learns fast, and when the panther sees the salmon on his doorstep with the morning paper in his mouth, he decides to adopt him as his pet. While out walking, the salmon wants to see "Moby Dick" playing in the movie theater, and the panther manages to sneak him in. However, when the salmon, gasping again, dives into the mug of lemonade another patron is holding, the panther and his pet rush out of the theater. A visit to the Ocean World Aquarium turns out bad, as the guard thinks the panther has stolen the salmon from them, so the fish ends up in one of the tanks. The panther has to disguise himself and secretly free the salmon from the tank.
- DirectorGerry ChiniquyThe Pink Panther looks for a place to sleep and makes himself comfy in a drunk man's home.
- DirectorArt LeonardiStarsArt LeonardiThe Pink Panther stops to spend a night at a castle in Transylvania, believing it to be a lodge. It is in fact a vampire's castle with such denizens as a hairy, knife-throwing hand, a phantom in squeaky shoes, and the usual living-dead blood-sucker. Thinking the vampire's coffin to be that of a dead man, the Pink Panther buries it. Come dusk, the coffin rumbles to surface, and the vampire emerges. The Pink Panther uses bug spray to repel the vampire in bat form, and it flies out a window and changes to the vampire, who falls into a moat inhabited by a shark. The shark chases the vampire, and the phantom chases the Pink Panther, before sunrise causes vampire, shark, phantom, and castle to disappear.
- DirectorGerry ChiniquyThe Pink Panther feeds peanuts to an elephant at a zoo, and the elephant follows him out of the zoo and into the surrounding city. When he tries to return the elephant from whence it came, he finds that the zoo is closed. So, the panther has little choice but to open his home to the displaced hulk of an animal, which proves rather difficult in that his home is an upstairs apartment with a strict, short, pointy-nosed manager. The elephant's weight causes fractures in the between-floor foundations, spills water from the panther's bathtub, water which drops through the fractured floor onto the little man's face, and finally, while sleeping on an upper bunk on the Pink Panther's bunk bed, crashes through the bunk, floors, and panther and man beneath. Of course, the little man evicts the Pink Panther and the elephant.
- DirectorGerry ChiniquyThe Pink Panther is a very responsible caretaker in a national park. Then a very irresponsible short, pointy-nosed man arrives with his dog to camp out. Ignoring the prohibitions, the man sets a campfire, throws empty cans into the lake while fishing, and litters the forest so badly the panther has to send for the bear to order the man to clean up everything. At sunset, the park is clean again, and the man can go into his tent to sleep.
- DirectorGerry ChiniquyThe Pink Panther meets a tiny, white bird that wants to go south but is unable to fly. The Pink Panther's faltering efforts to teach flight to the bird and to give the bird a boost into the air arouse the carnivorous attention of an alley cat, from whom the Pink Panther must defend his little, feathered friend. Thwarting the alley cat but angering a dog, the Pink Panther and the bird fly south on an airplane, with the dog in pursuit.
- DirectorRobert McKimsonStarsMel BlancThe short, pointy-nosed man is Tarzan, feared King of the Jungle but henpecked husband of Jane at home. When Jane orders Tarzan to get her a pink fur coat, he sets out to capture the Pink Panther. But every attempt to capture the feline ends unluckily.
- DirectorArt LeonardiStarsMel BlancWhile relaxing in his tree house, the Pink Panther becomes the victim of the pointy-nose guy, who in this cartoon is am employee of a lumber yard who has just cut down the tree his house was in, effectively destroying it. As a measure of revenge, the panther follows the man home and behind his back starts stealing his house from him piece by piece. As he notices everything is disappearing little by little (front door, back steps, fireplace, chimney, furniture, plumbing, walls, roof, etc.), the man first thinks its termites, then thieves, but the exterminator and police all think he's crazy, so he goes to a shrink, who confirms it. When the man tries to show the shrink his house, it's gone, and he goes insane, and gets taken to the happy home.
- DirectorGerry ChiniquyInspired by the legendary fictional character The Scarlet Pimpernel, the Pink Panther dons a red cape and a red hat with a feather, and becomes The Scarlet Pinkernel, protector of stray dogs. The first two dogs he saves from the dog catcher are anything but grateful, but the third dog, a large and cuddly one, gets too grateful and persistent, hops on the panther's motorcycle while he starts it, and blocks his view. The wild ride goes through a subway tunnel with a train in hot pursuit, and ends up in a telephone pole as the dog tries to chase a cat.
