Bizu, a French footballer who had an affair with Xania, and therefore is the prime suspect in Gluants murder, is shot in the head by an unknown assassin in the teams locker room. While at a casino to gain information, Clouseau encounters British Secret Agent 006, Nigel Boswell. Boswell foils a robbery at the casino by the notorious GasMasked Bandits, using Clouseaus trenchcoat to hide his identity. Clouseau mistakenly receives credit for the deed in the press and is nominated for the Medal of Honour, much to Dreyfus dismay.Clouseau follows Xania to New York City, suspecting that she knows more than she is telling. However, despite Pontons insistence that she is most likely a suspect because Gluant cheated on her, Clouseau decides Xania is innocent. Meanwhile, because the poison that killed Gluant was derived from Chinese herbs, Dreyfus concludes that the killer is a Chinese envoy named Dr. Pang. Now ready to take charge of the case and win the Medal of Honour, Dreyfus has one of his officers switch Clouseaus bag with one full of weapons at the airport for his return flight to France. The bag sets off the metal detector at the security gate, and Clouseau is arrested due to his inability to pronounce hamburger correctly he tried to smuggle some for the trip back. Upon his return to France, the press vilifies him and Dreyfus strips him of his rank for trying to become a hero. The Chief Inspector now plots to publicly arrest Dr. Pang at the Presidential Ball, where Xania will also be performing. ........
