Plot
An offscreen English gentleman (Larry Storch) converses with the relaxing Pink Panther on a quiet Sunday afternoon, badgering him into doing some housework.
Typically, the Pink Panther encounters several mishaps around the house. He manages to soak himself while trying to fix a leaky faucet, leading to the entire house being flooded. The panther also sets a power saw in motion, slicing off his tail and ultimately cutting his house in half. Plus, the basement lightblub continually goes dark every time the panther enters, leading him to stumble down the steps each and every time. Despite the endless mishaps, the English gentleman persists, irritating the feline. Finally, the Pink Panther loads a blunderbuss, giving the Englishman the impression that the panther is going to shoot him, but he shoots the faulty basement lightbulb, but backfire causes the panther to get trapped in a luggage he took the blunderbuss from.

Famous quotes containing the word plot:
“Ends in themselves, my letters plot no change;
They carry nothing dutiable; they won’t
Aspire, astound, establish or estrange.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
“We have defined a story as a narrative of events arranged in their time-sequence. A plot is also a narrative of events, the emphasis falling on causality. “The king died and then the queen died” is a story. “The king died, and then the queen died of grief” is a plot. The time sequence is preserved, but the sense of causality overshadows it.”
—E.M. (Edward Morgan)
“The plot was most interesting. It belonged to no particular age, people, or country, and was perhaps the more delightful on that account, as nobody’s previous information could afford the remotest glimmering of what would ever come of it.”
—Charles Dickens (1812–1870)
