Pink Panic is the 26th theatrically released Pink Panther cartoon. It was released to theaters on January 11th, 1967.
Plot[]
The short opens on a dark and stormy night, with the Pink Panther trying to find shelter. He soon comes across the welcome sign for a ghost town called Dead Dog, and spots a hotel. He goes inside, but finds the place deserted. He tries to sign in his name into the guest book, but the ink ends up squirting out of the pen and into his face. The Panther wipes his face on a sheet covering a chair, unaware that the "sheet" is actually an unfriendly ghost. After finding a room and closing the window, the Panther trips over the "sheet" covered chair from earlier.
He puts it outside his room and closes the door, but ends up tripping over it again after checking out the bathroom, and he then kicks it down the stairs for good measure. Afterwards, the ghost leaves his chair and goes after the Panther, but ends up getting used as a towel for the Panther to dry off with after taking a shower. Later, the Panther heads off to bed, unaware that there's a skeleton right next to him. After the walking pile of bones scares him, the Pink Panther runs for his nine lives as the skeleton gives chase. But the skeleton runs right into a door that the Panther hides behind, causing him to go to pieces and prompting the ghost from earlier to come around with a broom and dustpan to sweep him up.
Soon, both the skeleton and the ghost are chasing after the Pink Panther, and a big fight ensues in a grandfather clock. All three of them end up causing such a racket that they prompt the sheriff to come in and arrest them all. But as they all head for the jailhouse, the sun rises. And the light of the sun causes the skeleton, ghost, sheriff, and town to vanish.
