What happens

The Pink Panther 2 is a 2009 American comedy-mystery film directed by Harald Zwart. It is the eleventh installment in the Pink Panther film series and the sequel to the 2006 film The Pink Panther. Steve Martin, Jean Reno and Emily Mortimer reprise their roles from the previous film, with Alfred Molina, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Andy Garcia, Lily Tomlin and John Cleese joining the cast. In the film, Clouseau (Martin) must team up with detectives from other countries to rout a daring burglar, The Tornado, who has returned after a decade's inactivity. Martin polished the original script written by Scott Neustadter and Michael H. Weber in November 2006. In January 2007, the writing team of Lowell Ganz and Babaloo Mandel were hired to perform a further rewrite. Principal photography began in Paris in August 2007, before moving to Boston several weeks later, where filming ended that November. The Pink Panther 2 premiered at Alpe d'Huez on January 24, 2009, and was released by Columbia Pictures in North America on February 6. The film received generally negative reviews from critics, and underperformed at the box office and grossing $76 million against a $70 million budget. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
