Synopsis

The Pink Panther is sitting on a bench admiring the flowers when a drunkard comes along. The drunk tells him that he always wanted a little pink buddy and takes him home with him. His wife, a harpy, is not so interested. The drunk makes him into a table lamp and plugs his tail into the socket. Next, he hides him in the freezer. When the Panther turns into a chunk of ice and turns blue, the drunk slides him down the basement stairs, smashing the ice, because he wanted a pink buddy... not a blue one.

Production notes

This is a unique entry in the series in that it features extensive dialogue (albeit not by the Pink Panther).
