When the legendary Hot Pink diamond mysteriously vanishes during a magic show at the popular MGM Grand Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas––along with the famous starlet who was last seen wearing it upon her ample bosom––authorities immediately summon Chief Inspector Jaques Clouseau, the world renowned investigator from the Paris Police Bureau, to the scene of the crime. With the aid of an American private eye and bounty hunter "Junkyard" Bob Convoy, the French detective who bumbled his way to fame in the widely celebrated Pink Panther case is determined to track down the bauble and the bosom it was last cleaving to. Oddsmakers predict he'll solve the case. . .or go bust trying to! So look out evil–doers: Clouseau is in Sin City. (And look out Nevada Highway Patrol, because some fool has given him the keys to an SUV!)

Who is killing the great pastry chefs of France? Inspector Clouseau is assigned to a high–profile "pastry case"––and he could not be happier, considering his love of croissants.
 After visiting (delicious) crime scenes in Paris, Nice, and the French countryside, Clouseau and Ponton gain ten pounds and come to one conclusion. These French chefs are being killed (in strange gastronomic ways) because they are all members of an elite team that is preparing to compete in the most lucrative and prestigious pastry competition on the planet: the World Dessert Expo, held this year at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. The million dollar grand prize has made this competition a world–class event. Over a dozen countries enter their finest chefs, and the French have won every year for the past five, clearly making themselves the target of a rival team or even a rival government (are these deaths the work of jealous chefs or cunning assassins working for an enemy of France?).
 It pains Charles Dreyfus when he realizes that Clouseau is the only French inspector who has any experience in dealing with American law enforcement officials. Thus, he is forced to allow Clouseau to once again represent France's finest in America. Clouseau believes undercover work is key and he arrives in Vegas incognito, as a member of the pastry team. Will the intrepid inspector uncover the killer? Or will he himself end up souf–flayed?
