Plot
The Pink Panther is homeless and is enduring a cold wintry night on a park bench. He decides to seek refuge in a nearby apartment building, owned by a modestly wealthy hunter. While getting warm, the Pink Panther notice that the hunter have many mounted head animals and guns on his walls. Fearing if he is caught and be mounted on the wall, the Pink Panther replaces the stuffed body of a Ugandan panther with himself in a still pose. Soon the hunter and his dog walk past by him but the dog sniff the Pink Panther, realizing it's alive and barked at him, until the Pink Panther slap its head to be quiet. The hunter came and repeatedly whacks The Pink Panther (who surprised stood still) with a stick to show to his dog that the panther is dead and stuffed. As soon the hunter leaves the room and the dog remains, the Pink Panther hits the dog with the stick. Scared, the dog ran to his master telling him that the Pink Panther is alive. The Pink Panther put back the real statue and hide when the dog and the master come back. The dog barks at the statue before his master hit him with the stick, and shows his dog that the statue is dead and stuff and leave the room. Thinking the statue is the real Pink Panther, the dog destroys it, because getting hit by his master with the newspaper.
The hunter comes in with his cooked chicken for dinner, and left the room to get something to drink. The Pink Panther see the food, and quietly get the food by using a fishing rod, and putting the bones back on the plate. The hunter comes back with some wine and sees his food gone. Thinking the dog ate his food, the hunter took the dog to the hallway before hitting him with the newspaper again.
Soon the Pink Panther goes to the bathroom and takes a bath. When he hears the hunter coming, he quickly dives underwater and the hunter put the hot water on. The Pink Panther quickly got out the tub and left the bathroom. Suspicious, the hunter goes to living room and seeing the Pink Panther's (in the statue pose) foot wet; which make the hunter think his dog had peed on his statue and throw the dog outside.
The Pink Panther goes into the living room to relax, and read the newspaper while the dog barks outside and he goes into the basement to get inside. The Pink Panther hears the hunter coming, and quickly hides while the hunter sits in the chair and read the newspaper. Not realizing his master is in the chair, the dog attacks him thinking he's the Pink Panther before realizing its owner. He tried to make it up to him by kissing his master leg, but got drown out again.
A tired Pink Panther goes to the hunter bedroom and fall asleep. The dog goes back into the house by going down the basement to get rid of the Pink Panther once and for all. The Pink Panther left the bed to get a drink of water, and the hunter goes to his bed and fell asleep covering himself with the blanket. The dog is holding the gun, puts in the covers, and shoots it, and smiles viciously until realizing his shot his owner. Furious, the master chase his dog outside while shooting the gun and the Pink Panther sees this, shrugs and go back to the house to bed making the house his since the owner left.
