Plot

In Lake Placid, New York, the Pink Panther and the Little Man are competitors in a series of Winter Olympic games. The problem is, the Little Man is a very bad sport who will resort to outrageously blatant cheating to win. Despite several comical mishaps (including being chased by a piano that seemingly wants his head on a silver platter, an upside-down chase through the snow after he and the Little Man fall off a ski lift, and having to saw his skis down after trying to get through a door while holding them widthwise), the Panther triumphs at downhill racing, ski jumping (after which he has to nurse the Little Man through a bad cold following a failed attempt by him to get a longer distance than the Panther did) and bobsledding and wins the Gold medal while the little man earns a Silver and his sneezing puts out the Olympic flame.

Home media
