Tough project. What about the story?

This edit will have a basic plot, but not one with so much over the top and needless "bad" and "forced" humor.
The object here is to wrap the "Panther" series up with a short story, and to pay a simple tribute to what Sellers had done in his installments.
It's a fan edit ment to be placed into a fans dvd player when he/she wants to just crack up to the "Best of Clouseau" without the dead weight of 2 (or is it 3) needless and stupid go no place sub-plots. With the use of branching the DVD program, you will be able to view the flashback clips with a sub-story, or without one.
This is not going to be some major plot that revolves around a replacement detective.
It will be a more compact "move along" plot, with more flash backs (from "Return of The Pink Panther" too), and now without the bad low-budget music overdubed for "Trail".
You know, I don't want to give too much away, but Inspector Clouseau will now have vanished sooner in this edit. Some of the events from Curse will now happen inter-cut with events from Trail. A good deal of the reporter's scenes will now be cut out or be re-sequenced. There will be no over-blown mafia subplot in this edit.
If this project turns out the way I hope it will, I'll need some people to give it a pre-view.
