The Pink Panther in: Pink at First Sight.It is Valentine's Day and the Pink Panther has no love and no money except for seven cents. He goes to a messenger service for a job but messes his rehearsal up. He then goes to a store, buys a cassette player and pre-recorded cassettes with the seven cents he had left and goes back to the messenger service miming to "Vesti la giubba", an aria from Ruggero Leoncavallo's opera Pagliacci, and gets hired as a messenger. Antics on the job entangle the breezy cat with a jealous husband (after the Panther steals the heart of a housewife whilst miming a 50s-ish sounding ballad), a snobby classic violinist (after the Panther, who had the wrong recording on at the time, used a Stradivarius violin like an electric guitar), a priest (whom the Panther apparently gave the wrong present) and a crime boss and tough gangsters (which their present was a bomb). Finally, after warding off the gangsters with a cassette containing excerpts of a police radio show, our hero meets the pantheress of his dreams, the ideal feline valentine.
